Well-suited for blues, rock, country, folk, and jazz. Lee O harmonicas are more airtight, easier to bend, and better sounding than many harps. Introduced in 1983, built in Japan to exacting standards and incorporating new techniques and materials, the radically different harp design grew out of Lee's frustration with the lack of quality and consistency in the mouth harps of the day. The design benefited from Oskar's ins as a seasoned and touring pro. They quickly became the harmonica of choice for beginners and professionals. Central to Oskar's design is a smooth plastic comb that doesn't swell like traditional wood combs. Aside from being easier to keep clean, the plastic comb doesn't swell like wood combs. Replacement reed plates are available so can be easily refurbished. Replacement reed plates are available for every model in the Lee Oskar harmonica lineup and installation is easy since they to the comb with just three self-tapping screws. The reed plates have wide chambers and narrow dividers for faster, easier playing. A precision-molded, recessed bed holds the reed plate securely to prevent air leakage and project a bigger sound. The corrosion-proof, stainless steel cover plates are also engineered for excellent projection and tone (Replacement cover plates are also available) Lee's innovation didn't stop with a better-designed harp he introduced the Melody Maker, Natural Minor and Harmonic Minor series that make it easier to play melodies difficult if not impossible to play with a standard diatonic harmonica. Another indication of Oskar's hard-won knowledge as a touring pro: Each harp is clearly marked in bright white on both ends with its first- and second-position (straight and cross-harp) keys. Each harmonica box is color-coded according to its series and also displays its key prominently. If you've ever struggled to find the right harp on a darkened stage, you will appreciate this simple yet essential touch.
