Cordially welcomes
at the

information web page
about the development of my new harmonica
I am extremely happy to welcome you here on my web page.
This page would enable you to get the first view of my lifelong development.
|
| What is the "Safira Chromatica"? |
 |
The „Safira Chromatica in C” is a
professional chromatic harmonica.
It was my project to develop a harmonica, which is louder and easier to play than the ones we already know.
It was summer 2004, when I was struck
with this idea.
I commenced socializing and started designing the first prototypes.
|
| What is the difference? |
This new harp carries its characteristics inter alia in the styling of its all-metal chassis.
It adjusts perfectly to the hand and produces an extraordinary sound.
The improved sound and its special volume is due to the special funnel form.
|
 |
| Is a normal slide gate valve technique used? |
 |
The „Safira Chromatica in C” is designed as
a 14-hole version.
Its slide gate valve is characterized by its extremely easy-to-use function mode.
This is made possible by a large and
less strong spring.
The interaction of slide gate valve technique and the moulded padding effectuates a downright
well handling, which probably never exists
for professional harp players before.
|
| Why the red colour is essential? |
From my proven experience:
the special red powder coating is essential for
the improvement of the sliding qualities within
the mouth range of the harp.
By the general impression, which I received so far from prototypes - of the Safira Chromatica in C
I can only say:
I absolutely succeeded in developing an
outstanding professional instrument, which
should be in a short time available for the public.
