A R K I A Origin Model
A R K I A Origin is the first model developed by the brand.
It was designed to offer exemplary responsiveness at a very affordable price.
All the usual techniques of the modern diatonic harmonica are now available to players of all levels.
Just like its big brother the ARKIA Signature, it features RSS (Reed Stabilizing System) technology, for better control of air flow whatever the note played.
Highly responsive and versatile, it will suit beginners who want to be sure of their instrument without putting too much money on it, as well as intermediate level players who want to start with the overblow technique. Finally, it is suitable for advanced players who see the opportunity to complete their set with a high-performance instrument at a lower cost.
Overblows 4, 5 and 6 are remarkable. Present & very effectively right out of the box, they can be further optimized with personal fine tuning to become as smooth as alterations.
Beware, it facilitates the playing of overblows, but the instrument does not play in your place! You still have to acquire the technique
