Swan 1040 Chromatic harmonica (Valveless) review and first impression

[@emilianomanfredi4748]

Ma suona benissimo!! Che meraviglia!

[@roamingjoes]

That was great Per. Thanks for sharing on the Reddit. Hoping the Swan 1240 Anniversary version is less leaky too!

Good to know that, I wasn't expecting anything else from it. Unfortunately the case didn't fit a 48, I would have done the same if it fits. 😜

[@woelneberg]

It's really a nice case! I bet they could have sold it for almost the same price, basically a free harmonica with the case 😂

[@bilbowaggins3036]

The jdr trochilus is available in solo tuning and is far, far better than this, and better than the easttop valveless harps in my opinion. It is more expensive though.

[@woelneberg]

It's significantly more expensive. I haven't tried one yet, but would love to! Don't really see the need for one personally though.

[@bilbowaggins3036]

@@woelneberg yeah, for someone with as many harmonicas as you already have, you probably wouldn't need it. But for a diatonic player looking to crossover into the solo tuning/chromatic world, the trochilus solo tuned is the best option in my opinion. It's just so nice to not have to worry about valves

[@woelneberg]

@bilbowaggins3036 Yeah I agree. I already got several 10 hole Chromatic with and without valves, so while the design is cool it doesn't really offer anything new. I probably will get it anyway. It would not be the first time I buy a harmonica I don't really need 🤣

[@rebeccaabraham8652]

I've got the Easttop equivalent - and I think it's a much better instrument. I gave away my swan harps....

Сначала сыграл бы, а потом показывал/рассказывал!..😮
