Abstract
A harmonica including at least a comb including a plurality of chambers, a first plate including a plurality of blow reeds, a second plate including a plurality of draw reeds, the harmonica wherein each chamber of the plurality of chambers includes at least one material projection, each material projection being configured to reduce the oscillatory space of a draw reed, and in that it includes at least one additional plate arranged above the first plate and including a plurality of additional material projections, each additional material projection of the plurality of additional material projections being configured to reduce the oscillatory space of a blow reed.
Claims19
A diatonic harmonica comprising at least:
- a. a comb comprising a plurality of chambers each comprising an opening configured to let a user's breath pass, each chamber defining an oscillatory space for a blow reed and an oscillatory space for a draw reed, the blow reed and the draw reed of each chamber defining a pair of complementary reeds;
- b. a first plate comprising a plurality of blow reeds, the first plate being arranged opposite a f irst face of the comb, each blow reed of the plurality of blow reeds being configured to oscillate in its oscillatory space when the user blows at least into the chamber defining said oscillatory space;
- c. a second plate comprising a plurality of draw reeds, the second plate being arranged opposite a second face of the comb, each draw reed of the plurality of draw reeds being configured to oscillate in its oscillatory space when the user inhales at least from the chamber defining said oscillatory space;
- the harmonica wherein at least part of the chambers of the plurality of chambers has a widthwise extension dimension larger than the widthwise extension dimension of at least another part of the chambers of the plurality of chambers.
A comb for a diatonic harmonica, comprising a first plate comprising a plurality of blow reeds and a second plate comprising a plurality of draw reeds, said comb comprising a plurality of chambers, each chamber of the plurality of chambers being associated to a complementary pair of reeds comprising a blow reed and a draw reed, each chamber of the plurality of chambers each comprising an opening configured to enable the user's breath to pass and each intended to define an oscillatory space for a blow reed and for a draw reed, said comb wherein at least part of the chambers of the plurality of chambers has a widthwise extension dimension larger than the widthwise extension dimension of at least another part of the chambers of the plurality of chambers.
