Take your playing to a whole new level of expression with the Suzuki Promaster MR-350V – a valved diatonic harmonica designed for advanced technique and soulful performance. Unlike standard diatonic harps, which allow note bending only in specific ranges, the Promaster Valved model features special internal valves that let you bend every note – both blow and draw – across the full range of the instrument.
The Promaster Valved lets you bend every note across the scale, giving you greater control over phrasing, dynamics, and vibrato. It's a compelling alternative to overblowing, loved by experienced harmonica players seeking smoother, more musical bends.
At the heart of the MR-350V is a satin-anodized aluminum alloy comb, offering excellent airtightness and brilliant tone projection. The precision-machined phosphor bronze reeds and brass reed plates ensure durability and a smooth, responsive feel across the range.
Ergonomically designed chrome-plated brass cover plates provide a secure, comfortable grip – ideal for extended playing sessions. The Promaster’s signature build quality shines through every detail, delivering the same professional standard you'd expect from Suzuki’s flagship line.
With its expanded bending capabilities and refined construction, the Suzuki Promaster Valved is a top-tier harmonica for advanced players seeking expressive depth and tonal flexibility. It includes a soft-lined hard shell carrying case for safe storage and transport.
When choosing a harmonica, it’s important to know how the key is labelled—and Suzuki makes it simple. Unlike some brands that label their instruments by the second position (often used for blues), Suzuki harmonicas are labelled according to the first position, also known as straight harp. This means the key printed on the harmonica is the key you get when playing melodies in first position. The handy table below shows you the corresponding keys for playing in each position. For example, if you want to play in the key of C in second position (C mixolydian), you need an F harmonica.
| Key | C | D♭ | D | E♭ | E | F | F♯ | G | A♭ | A | B♭ | B |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | C | D♭ | D | E♭ | E | F | F♯ | G | A♭ | A | B♭ | B |
| 2nd | F | F♯ | G | A♭ | A | B♭ | B | C | D♭ | D | E♭ | E |
| 3rd | B♭ | B | C | D♭ | D | E♭ | E | F | F♯ | G | A♭ | A |
