How to get KENBAN-Harmonica
Before you get
Even if it tells a "KENBAN-Harmonica" to a mouthful, there is many of the product, and if main, either of the things of three companies of domestic will be chosen. At first, I'll explain what kind of KENBAN-Harmonica is.
About keys, there are things of 24 keys, 25 keys, 27 keys, 32 keys, 34 keys, 36 keys, and 37 keys, I hear that what is used in school has many 32 keys, and it is a thing of this number of keyboards which is set to the ordinary musical instrument store mostly. Moreover, the place handling 25 keys or 27 keys is also often seen (incidentally PIANICA has 25 keys, MELODION, and PIANY have 27 keys). Although 37 keys also have the kept place if it is at the big musical instrument store, I think that it has to be ordered mostly.
There is the compass in its duty "soprano", "alto", and "bass" also in a KENBAN-Harmonica at a recorder, a clarinet, and sax. Although it is the alto whom usually takes in its hand or the school is usually using. Their keys begin from the sound of f (FA) mostly. Alto is from the sound f (the 4th line of an F clef), soprano is from f1 (the 1st between of a G clef), and bass is from F (the 1st line of an F clef).
If it is alto, the thing of 37 keys includes the compass of the thing of other numbers of keyboards. Moreover, it is the compass which can similarly blow the thing of 25 keys with alto 37 keys in soprano. Although considering the thing of the compass which can be blown I want to recommend 37 keys, probably, as for those who do not need the number of keyboards so much, and are referred to as wanting to choose the merit of management, it will be good to gain 32 keys.
Because the charm is collected about a soprano model by the place "the compass which cannot be taken out to alto can be used", if it can do, I will think it good to choose the thing of 32 keys with many (the highest compass is more high) keyboards.
In addition, although it is bass model, as for this, a choice has only bass MELODION of SUZUKI.
As for a price, 27 keys (25 keys) are 4500 yen to about 5000 yen, 32 keys is 5500 yen to 6000 yen, and 37 keys are 7000 yen to about 8000 yen .
MELODION "PRO-37V2 "18500 yen and bass MELODION " B-24" is 9800 yen as what is not applied to this example.
If it can be expected associating with the instrument for a long time from now on though which model is got, I recommend getting what is sold by present. The KENBAN-Harmonica has also been changing the model a few time, some model is quite different from the present KENBAN-Harmonica. Such instrument cannot be swapped the parts, for example mouthpieces or reed-plates.
