(220-C) Trumpet Call C

The Trumpet Call is the next model in our Harmonica Collection reissue series. With its five specially made trumpet bells of the finest quality brass and the unique wooden casing, the Trumpet Call must be counted among the most beautifully crafted and attractive harmonicas in the world. The combination of the eye-catching trumpet bells and the original Knittlinger reed plates and wooden body (made of specially selected pearwood), gives this elegantly proportioned model a pleasantly soft but bright sound. This is a Richter tuned Octave Harmonica like the Autovalve. Like the Autovalve, the Trumpet Call is unique in that it is an Octave tuned harp where windsaver valves allow both blow and draw reeds to be in the same cell in the comb, as opposed to having separate cells for each reed as in other octave harmonicas. This allows the harmonica to be much more compact than the typical octave tuned harmonica, yet still deliver that full bodied 'organ-like' tone. The harmonica part is 4 3/4 inches long by 1 3/4 inches deep. The horns extend about 3 1/2 inches high. Key of C only.
