This award winning model is the latest addition to Hohner's line of chromatics.
Cool! The casing of the CX-12 'Jazz', constructed on the basis of the tried and tested CX-12, has a great 'new look' which doesn’t just have optical appeal. The new mouthpiece has been specially milled according to modern ergonomic principles so that the radius at the front is slightly smaller. This enables the player to enclose the channel openings more closely and fits perfectly to the form of the lips. The fast response and slightly higher reed offsets give a dynamic and powerful sound with plenty of drive. The new casing is also fully compatible with previous CX-12 models. With the CX-12 'Jazz', Hohner has succeeded in creating an instrument which is the ideal link between chromatics for the traditional player and the Mellow Tone and Hard Bopper models from our popular 'Toots Thielemans' series, specially designed for jazz.
Unique in both styling and sound, the CX-12's molded, one-piece housing provides a warm, round tone, smooth mouthpiece and a non-slip cover surface for better handling. A revolutionary design utilizes a back mounted spring plate which eliminates the need for mouthpiece and cover screws. The result is an optimal slide action and an improvement in compressing, producing quicker response, greater volume and an exceptional ease in note bending. Finally, service and cleaning is a snap! The CX-12's four major parts can be disassembled and reassembled in seconds, without the use of tools, by following the simple instructions included in the carrying case. Specifications: Range: 3 Octaves (12 holes), Length: 6 1/8 inches, Depth: 1 7/8 inches, Height: 1 7/16 inches, Weight: 6.3 oz., Keys that will eventually be available include the following: C, D, Eb, E, F, G, A, Bb, Tenor (Low) C. However, currently we can only get Key of C.
Chromatics from lowest to highest in pitch are:
Tenor ( or Low) C, D, Eb, E, F, G, A, Bb, B, C
Remember: Notes with sharps (#) or flats (b) can be written either way,
Ab=G#, Bb=A#, Db=C#, Eb=D#, and F#=Gb

*NOTE - The Hohner Koch Chromatic, the Hohner Slide Harp, and the Hering Vintage 40 are RICHTER tuned like a diatonic rather than SOLO tuned like the typical chromatic, so they are not truly chromatics since there are still "missing" notes.
