ONE LOGIC

If you play one, you'll want to play the other.

- Chromatic and diatonic with common layout.
- Easier transposing.
- Blow+slide are draw bends on the diatonic.
- Draw+slide become overblows (or valve bends).

Practicing a chromatic will help you learn the diatonic too (and vice versa) - you learn the layout, which is the same on both instruments.

  AFFORDABLE

Buying a custom-built chromatic just to test the tuning may be a bit expesive. You can get the diatonic first to see if you are comfortable with the "true chromatic" tuning.

Many people who liked it on the diatonic, have later got the chromatic, and vice versa. "True Chromatic" diatonic is the most affordable way to try the tuning.

  CHORDS

You have 16 chords from a 10-holer! Plus the fifths, the thirds, and the sevenths. Put this potential to good use.

The instrument uses a custom compromised tuning that allows rich chordal playing without sacrificing single notes. Compromise notes are tuned sharper, so you will automatically adjust the pitch while playing.

Equal temperament is possible on demand.

  POSITIONS

Learn how to play in Cm, and play everything exactly the same way in Gm, Dm, and Am! Take advantage of True Chromatic’s position playing.

It's like having several diatonics in one.

Besides, it's very easy to get accustomed to the layout after a Richter diatonic - playing blues on the True Chromatic in D, A, E, and B is almost identical to 2nd pos ition on Richter!
