The revolutionary Short-Cross chromatic harmonica, the ‘μ-01’ (Mew-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, plus be supremely confident in the instrument’s long-term performance.

The ‘μ-01’ (Mew-01) also features a comfortably textured mouthpiece which helps to guard against dry lips; cover-plates made of a highly tonally-consistent brass core; and 100% lead-free reeds, which in conjunction with the all-new windsaver design, deliver the now-legendary Tombo sound quality.

12 holes with 48 tones - Unique Short Cross, Cross-Key function - Newly designed ABS body - Tonal range: C1-D4 - Supplied with Italian Leather case

Perfect for Traditional, Folk and Country Music and Windsaver.

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’ (Mew-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.
