Harmo Polar Half-valved harmonica:
This harmonica is standard richter tuned and valves are added to make it easier for beginner and intermediate players to get more notes without using overbends. You can bend more notes on a half valved than on a standard harmonica (but you can’t overblow).
Valves are commonly used in chromatic harmonicas and they can also prove to be useful on a diatonic for players who know how to bend and prefer to use this traditional technique to get additional notes instead of trying the more modern approach of overbends.
Bending valved reeds also gives a different sound than bending standard reeds.
In the table below we can see a full diagram showing clearly what extra notes are available thanks to the added valves.

William H. on 07/11/2021 | THis is my first valved harmonica so it took me a while to figure out how to use the valves, the reeds respond differently than on a standard model which was a bit disconcerting but after couple lessons I got a hang of it and I'm very happy with this harmonica now :) |
Extraordinary Harmonica | |
Paul S. on 10/16/2019 | Although I've been playing harmonica off and on for many years, I haven't paid a lot of attention to bends. When I saw the half valved Polar on the website, I thought I'd give it a try. The bendability of this harmonica is outstanding. I can get blow bends and draw bends on all holes, and I'm not that good at the technique! I'm torn now on getting a whole set of these half-valved or completing my set of Torpodos. I'm more than delighted with the playability of this extraordinary harmonica. |
Beats the Suzuki ! | |
Dan W. on 02/18/2019 | More affordable than the Suzuki Promaster valved, same type of reeds but nicer design and I really love the Polar covers, so smooth ! Great (half) valved harmonica I can bend all the blow notes from 1 to 6 and draw notes from 7 to 10. |
Niceeee | |
Christian H. on 02/02/2019 | Smooth covers, very nice soft sound, like it better than other valved models I tried |
