The orchestral effects and tonal shadings which are produced with such splendid results through the use of the double bass Chromonica have been the means of many Harmonica Orchestras winning high praise for their musical skill and ability to render the most difficult selections. No.265 BASS CHROMATIC HARMONICA. Length 8 3/4 inches. Two Harmonicas, one above the other, joined by hinges, presenting a most unusual instrument that is unique in its appearance. 29 holes, each equipped with two heavy all blow reeds - 58 reeds in all- thus providing exceptional volume of tone. This instrument is especially designed to provide the bass accompaniment for ensemble playing, supplying the performer with two chromatic octaves from Contra E to small e. The lower half of the instrument embodies the natural tones of the scale, the upper half the sharps and flats. The tones of the instrument are die-stamped on the top cover of the top Harmonica. This instrument is played in a manner entirely different from that of the standard Chromonica inasmuch as the holes are sufficiently far apart to enable the player to produce a single tone without the use of the tongue, which is the essential feature when playing the regular styles. All Blow 29 double holes, 58 reeds Length: 8 3/4 inches
