Product Description
-------------------
Blues Bender A professional instrument designed for those
learning to play the blues. Designed primarily to make playing
and note bending easy for entry level players, the Blues Bender
P.A.C. allows everybody access to the bluesy notes needed to make
any riff complete. The Blues Bender P.A.C. features “Patented
Acoustic Covers” from the Marine Band Harmonica, the all time
favorite amongst serious players since 1896. Originally patented
by Jacob Hohner in 1897, the special shape of the cover increases
the volume of air enclosed between the reeds and cover-plates
which, when thrown into vibration and vented through the special
side vents, allows for greater volume and projection. The Blues
Bender P.A.C. features thicker than normal reed plates for a
consistent tone. It is extremely airtight between the mouthpiece
and the reed plates, allowing for easier note bending and making
expressive playing easier. “The Blues Bender P.A.C. is the
perfect harp to learn on and we expect it to be a very popular
addition to our product line,” commented Scott Emmerman, Director
of Marketing & Sales. “A fantastic first harp to develop your
chops on.” - Roger Edsall (harp player with the band Bad
Influence) “The Blues Bender P.A.C. is a killer value.” - Lil’
Ronnie (of Lil’ Ronnie and the Grand Dukes) Professional
harmonica player Lil’ Ronnie (of Lil’ Ronnie and the Grand Dukes)
rated the Blues Bender P.A.C. as his top choice for ease of
playability, note bending, and consistent volume and tone when
compared against other models.
