QUESTIONS – ANSWERS

 

For beginners

• What key choose when we begin?

Most of people begin with the key of C because the scale of C remains the most accessible one as learning goals for beginners. However, this is not an obligation and some people begin with a key of A or G.

• Why choose a storm?

The storm is equipped with stainless steel reeds renowned for their long service life. It produces a bright, round, warm and powerful sound.

• Why choose a typhoon?

The typhoon combines all the components of performance and elegance : stainless steel reeds and black crystal rigid plates. The sole difference between the typhoon and the storm is the color of the rigid plates. The sound characteristics of both harmonicas are absolutely equivalent.

Troubleshooting ASS

• I have a reed that no longer works or badly works, what shall I do?

When a reed no longer works it is mostly because an obstacle (deposition or micro detritus) does not allow it to vibrate corectly through the window in which it oscillates. Simply disassemble the harmonica to clean it, which is very easy with the patented Yonberg quick dismantling system (QDS). If the defective reed still does not work after cleaning the harmonica  it may be  due to a slight swiveling of the reed  around its rivet which causes it to rub against the edges of the slot through which it oscillates. It is then necessary to re-align it very carefully  in the axis of the slot and it should again work without problem.

• I have a reed who becomes low, what can I do?

When  a reed quickly becomes lower that means that it is breaking. It is therefore imperative to quickly change this defective reed.
