Solid Blues Sound for Many Occasions and Key Ranges!
Whether you’re a beginner or already a passionate player - with the Classic Cantabile AHB-250 "Alabama Blues" harmonica 7-piece set you’ll have the blues covered for many occasions and, above all, many keys in your hands! This set includes harps in the following keys: C, D, E, F, G, A, B (H).
The materials used, chosen for their excellent acoustic properties, together with careful, professional production guarantee you years of enjoyment with these instruments. Not least, their easy handling makes these compact Richter harps faithful companions on every path.
First-Class Components for the Classic Sound
To deliver punchy riffs, melancholic melodies or simply a solid blues sound from the stage or around the campfire, you need instruments made from selected components. With their high-quality brass reed plates and 10 phosphor-bronze reeds, the "Alabama Blues" fully meets these demands.
Effortless Cleaning, Careful Storage
Two stainless-steel screws hold the chrome-plated steel cover and the harmonica body together. For regular cleaning you can easily take them apart and then reassemble them.
The Classic Cantabile AHB-250 "Alabama Blues" 7-piece set arrives in a form-fitting, plain-black plastic case. A soft, surface-friendly cleaning cloth is of course included for caring for your little treasures.
Playing "Cross" Made Easy
To play the "cross" style common among blues musicians, you should use a harmonica whose tuning is a fourth above the key of the piece being played. The table below shows which harp fits which key:
| Song Key | C Major | C# Major | D Major | Eb Major | E Major | F Major | F# Major | G Major | Ab Major | A Major | Bb Major | H Major |
| Harmonica Key | F Major | F# Major | G Major | Ab Major | A Major | Bb Major | H Major | C Major | C# Major | D Major | Eb Major | E Major |
About the Richter Harmonica
In the mid-1820s it was the Sudeten-German worker and folk musician Joseph Richter who revolutionized harmonica technique in the Sudetenland. At that time this border region between Saxony and Bohemia was known across Europe as an epicenter of instrument making and therefore also of harmonica building.
Joseph Richter designed a harmonica on which draw notes were possible (unlike the common harmonicas of the time that could only play blow notes). This eliminated the previously unavoidable pauses for breathing. Another stroke of genius was his decision to limit the instrument’s notes to the pitches of a single key (diatonic). As a result, harmonica players could no longer play wrong notes as long as they agreed with their fellow musicians on the same key. Richter’s third innovation was a new note arrangement that proved itself quickly and has remained in use to this day.

The shipment could be tracked; the instrument(s) are well made and sound as they should.
Although the bag and its zipper still have to prove their durability, with the bag, the cleaning cloth and
this assortment of harps, you don't have to worry about anything else and have at least a wide background range.
The choice of material (plastic) is reflected in both the weight and the price.
(Is it even recyclable in the end?)
So I can confidently recommend this/these instrument(s).
