SESSION STEEL PowerBender – a new universal 10 hole diatonic for traditional and modern music styles.
The SESSION STEEL PowerBender, is the upgrade to our successful SESSION model is presented with a bold new look and superior technical reliability, excellent playability and a fantastic sound.
The PowerBender tuning builds on the best parts of the traditional Richter Tuning, while altering the scale to make the real juicy and important notes much easier to obtain throughout the whole three octave range.
- Usual breathing patterns from channels 1-5 (the blow note is tuned lower than the draw tone).
- On the un-valved version you can overblow every hole 1-10, for full chromatic playing.
- Overdraws and blow bends are no longer possible or needed on a PowerBender – they are replaced with simple draw bends.
- On the half-valved version, a mix of normal draw bends and valved blow bends gives full chromaticism. Brendan plays PowerBender half-valved, and recommends it!
- Top octave easy to play (intuitive) as many familiar phrasings can be adopted from the bottom octaves
- Easy to play in the common positions: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 11th, and 12th
If you’re interested in a fresh sound on the 10 hole diatonic, LOTS more bending expression and easy jazzy playing, the PowerBender is a good choice for you!
