The Original Chromatic Revolution
With its sleek good looks and the elegant simplicity of its construction, 
the CX12 Black turned a lot of heads when it was introduced in 1992. 
It won the German Industry Design Award shortly afterwards, which was 
definitely a first for a harmonica instrument in modern times. 
Its powerful, distinctive sound and fast, easy response make it 
ideal for the ambitious amateur or contemporary professional player 
looking for a modern, easy to service chromatic harmonica in styles 
such as rock, pop and jazz.

Swing Bass 66 Long Scale - Heavy Gauge 50-110

This is the stainless steel roundwound string that James How and John Entwistle perfected into 
what was to become the industry standard. The bright, punchy, high-energy sound of Swing Bass 66 
strings is a major part of early rock music history and brought the bass player from the back line 
to the front of the stage.

A string for everyone
With so many musicians experimenting with unique gauges and drop tunings it is hardly surprising to 
know that Swing Bass Custom Box Singles, first introduced in the ’60s, enjoy more popularity now than 
ever before.
With such a wide range starting from 0.025" to 0.140" in increments of 0.005" there will be a gauge 
to suit everyone’s custom set.
