JDR Trochilus Harmonica
What is the Trochilus harmonica?
At its core, the Trochilus is a different-tuned 10-hole harmonica(Richter/Solo/Pop). Like a chromatic harmonica (e.g. Hohner 270 or CX12), pressing the slide allows you to jump up by a semitone (half step) — but unlike traditional chromatic, it has an innovative narrow-slot design which means it maintains all the bendability of a diatonic.
New design, new experience, new track
Blues/Richter Tuning(Blue)
When the slider isn't pressed, it's a traditional blues tuning. When the slider is pressed, the whole harmonica is raised by a semitone. At this time the vocal range is three octaves.
Chromatic/Solo Tuning (Yellow)
It is fully tuned according to the chromatic arrangement, with a two-and-a-half-octave range, from bass do to treble so. It can play most songs without worrying about valve adhesion.
Pop Tuning(Red)
When the slider isn't pressed, it's a pop tuning . Novices and 10-hole entry-level players can get started quickly. It has a complete range of three octaves, covering all semitones, and can play all repertoire.
The Trochilus is a ten-hole chromatic harmonica that took more than two years to develop.
It not only makes bending and overblowing easier than on a traditional 10-hole harmonica, but also eliminates the valve-related issues commonly found in chromatic harmonicas.
What is the difference between JDR Trochilus Pop Tuning and Trochilus Richter Tuning?
The Pop Trochilus comes equipped with all chromatic half-steps built right in, making it the ideal choice for pop music performances. The Blues Trochilus follows the classic standard 10-hole diatonic tuning, perfectly tailored for blues play. Even so, several individual notes still require bending to achieve the signature blues tones.
A New Way To Play Blues Harmonica
Phosphor bronze
reed without valve
The Trochilus harmonica's blow and draw reeds are arranged in the same up-and-down arrangement as a traditional blues harmonica with no valve obstruction.
Traprzoldal shaped comb
The shape of the comb is a trapezoid design, with a short tail and ergonomic design making it more comfortable to hold.
Portable size
The Trochilus harmonica is only ½ the size of the chromatic harmonica and has a complete range.
Smooth slider and square comb
The mouthpiece has a square structure, providing greater intake space to increase the volume of the harmonica.

I love the Trochilus 10 Holes Chromatic Harmonica. It offered the best of both worlds. The bending capabilities of a 10-Hole Diatonic Harmonica with the slides available in a Chromatic Harmonica. There are 5 keys available in the Pop Tuning and I own all 5 keys.
Great instrument, easy and fun to play.
My favourite harp so far. Paddy Richter tuning without the necessity to bend notes to play my favourite tunes. I love it. ❤️
