Suzuki F-20J Fabulous Just Temperament Harmonica

Suzuki brings the same exacting design philosophy and advanced manufacturing processes as used in the Fabulous chromatics to the popular 10 Hole Diatonic Harmonica.  Also called the Fabulous, the new model's warm tone and amazing reed response come from an uncompromising commitment to achieving perfection through the use of specially designed top-quality components.

Suzuki has specially designed the reeds of the Fabulous to make Overblows and Overdraws easy to play, smooth-sounding and stable.  Previously, players had to endure long waiting times for hand-customized harmonicas suitable for over-blowing.  Now Suzuki has employed all of its exacting design and manufacturing skills to create a superlative overblow harmonica, which will satisfy the demands of players who use this increasingly popular technique.

Silver Plated Brass Body
The brass body's rigidity and heavy mass fully transmit the reeds vibrations to create a clear, full tone.  The weight of the brass and the smooth finish of the silver-plating maximize volume as well.

The All-new Long Profile Phosphor Bronze Reeds designed exclusively for the Fabulous diatonics, produce a more powerful and dynamic sounds.  From the quietest whisper to an all-out blues wail, these new high performance reeds give the player instantaneous and delicately nuanced response, along with Suzuki's legendary long reed-life.

The F-20J is tuned in Just Temperament for producing rich and beautiful chords.

Just Temperament tuning is an older way of tuning harmonicas, and traditional blues players still prefer this sound.
