Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2015061112A1] A harmonica (10) with a tube plate (40) that provides production of sweeter, clearer notes with a minimum of skill. The tube plate (40) has a plurality of tubes (42) and sits over the reeds and the comb (20) under the cover plate (12), a tube coupled with each air chamber in the comb. The tubes form tunnels with the air chambers (22), enhancing reverberation and separating the sound waves emanating from the reed in each chamber. The tube plate (40) can be added to a conventional harmonica. The harmonica has a plurality of reed units, each reed in a separate unit. Each reed unit (30) is individually replaced when a reed requires replacement or when modification of the harmonica key is desired. The reed units can replace a reed plate in a conventional harmonica.
