THE SHORT BASS
In almost all music, the bass is the bottom line, the anchor that holds the whole thing 
together. This is just as true for harmonica ensembles as any other line-up. It’s not a 
simple matter to build a reed instrument that can respond with the speed and volume which 
group performance demands, especially in the low register down to E2, but our professional 
Bass harmonicas are made to do just that. They feature a hinged two part construction and 
each channel contains two reeds, tuned one octave apart, giving a remarkably rich and powerful 
sound. Here too, the lower reed of each pair is located on the inner rows to ensure balanced 
microphoning and accentuate the bass. As with the Chord 48, our Bass harmonicas have now been 
redesigned to optimize volume, handling and maintenance. The mouthpiece is integrated into the 
new acrylic comb construction for unparalleled airtightness and the full screw together assembly 
ensures ease of maintenance. The Bass 58 is the smaller of our two bass models, with a range of 
E2 - E4, and is ideal for all types of harmonica ensemble.
