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.
