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

2.jpg__PID:0c2bf98e-472c-463e-8a4f-9964bafc487c

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.

2-1.jpg__PID:e55ea039-114a-4777-a27c-9403ee82ba6d

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 the JDR Trochilus (Chromatic/Solo) Tuning harmonica and the Richter Trochilus?

Compared with standard chromatic harmonicas, the Solo Trochilus has no valves, so it avoids reed sticking and is a breeze to clean and maintain. Compared with the Blues Trochilus, it features a more orderly scale layout, though it has a slightly narrower range.

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.

Unbelievable

I’ve got a C solo tuned chromatic and it’s the coolest harmonica own. It requires less breath than any of my valved chromatics and I’ve got a bunch. Being able to bend notes opens up a whole other world of expression. It sounds like a giant special 20 but functions like a chromatic. Favorite harmonica of all time.

Armónica versátil y agradable de tocar

Es una armónica muy practica con un tamaño y forma ergonómicas que la hace muy cómoda. Compré las tapas de madera de sándalo y para según que interpretaciones, me gusta el sonido de la armónica con ellas, pero estoy tentado de comprar otra armónica igual para no tener que estar intercambiando las tapas de madera y de acero en la misma armónica. La funda que viene con las tapas de madera es muy práctica para llevar esta armónica en el bolsillo del pantalón. La falta de válvulas no afecta para nada a su estanqueidad ausencia de fugas.

A very interesting instrument.

A very interesting instrument
I have just gotten my hands on this instrument, and so far the impression is very good. It is comfortably small in my hands. The slide works fine and it feels quite responsive.
The tone is good, but not quite as good as some of the diatonics I usually play. This may improve as I become more familiar with it.
