Characteristics of μ-01(2248)
NEW SHORT-CROSS SYSTEM
There are two types of ‘Slide’ Chromatic harmonicas: Straight and Cross-Key.
Cross-Key Chromatic harmonicas feature wide apertures that allow for more breath to pass through, and therefore provide a good tonal balance on each key and a powerful, full sound.
However, the downside has always been in the slide’s longer “distance of travel”.
So, we Tombo have focused on attaining the ‘best of both worlds’: A chromatic harmonica with a bigger aperture but shorter slide distance.
A revolutionary Short-Cross chromatic harmonica, the ‘µ-01’ (mu-01) features a sub-slide which has an inverse movement when the main slide is pressed.
As a result, in order to cover a 6mm aperture, a press of only 3mm is needed, thus halving the effort and time required.
With all moving parts precision-engineered to require the minimum of maintenance, this incredible new Short-Cross system allows the musician to play fast musical passages with much greater fluidity, and feel very confident in the instrument’s long-term performance.

Cover-plates,reed & wind-saver
Cover-plates made of a highly tonally-consistent brass core with a matte black finish; and 100% lead-free reeds, which in conjunction with the all-new wind-saver design, deliver the now-legendary Tombo sound quality. The μ-01 is composed of precisely engineered parts and requires the minimum of maintenance, and is finished with Pink Gold which requires careful handling to maintain its natural beauty.
