The silencer utilises individual spiral structures for each of the 10 reed chambers, effectively reducing the sound level by around 15-20dB, without affecting playability.This kit is perfect for beginners that want to learn how to hold and play a harmonica before creating a sound, and for professionals that want to be able to practice at any time. Its also easy to attach and detach the silencer and use it with other Suzuki 10-hole diatonic harmonicas.Supplied as a full set, the SNB-20 can be played immediately after purchase. The harmonica supplied is the same model as the C-20.How are Suzuki harmonicas labelled?When choosing a harmonica, its important to know how the key is labelledand Suzuki makes it simple. Unlike some brands that label their instruments by the second position (often used for blues), Suzuki harmonicas are labelled according to the first position, also known as straight harp. This means the key printed on the harmonica is the key you get when playing melodies in first position. The handy table below shows you the corresponding keys for playing in each position. For example, if you want to play in the key of C in second position (C mixolydian), you need an F harmonica.First position – standard major scale, ideal for folk melodies and simple pop songsSecond position – mixolydian mode, perfect for the bluesThird position – dorian mode, lending a darker, minor soundscape Key C D D E E F F G A A B B 1st C D D E E F F G A A B B 2nd F F G A A B B C D D E E 3rd B B C D D E E F F G A A Suzuki harmonicas range diagrams
