Two models of
TurboSlide
Model: TH-09
The original TurboSlide, introduced in
November 2010 based on the Seydel .
It was chosen due to its stainless steel reeds
which are intrinsically paramagnetic. It is also
very high quality instrument, but comes at a
premium price. However it provides bending of
all 10-blow notes, and on certain models
allows the player to adjust tuning of individual
reeds through the use of a screw adjustment.
Model: TH-09a
Introduced in October 2011, this version is
based on the Hohner Special-20 harmonica. It
was motivated to reduce the cost of the
flagship TurboSlide, and also to provide our
customers with the TurboLid enclosure which
they have grown to love. Because the reeds
are not magnetic, a small drop of magnetic
coating is applied near their tips. This model
only provides magnets on the first 6 blow
notes (holes 1 through 6), and does not allow
tuning adjustment. (We figure that since holes
7-10 are already bend-able in the conventional
manner, it cost/benefit of adding magnets to
these reeds would be too great.)
