The HAMMOND44 series PRO-44HPv2 is a keyboard harmonica created through a collaboration between Hammond and Suzuki Melodion.
Its biggest feature is that it has a built-in pickup microphone.
The clear lead sound with reduced keystroke sound is collected evenly over the entire band, achieving a sound that cannot be obtained by collecting sound with an external microphone.
You can freely create your sound by connecting it to an amplifier or effector.
Furthermore, this product uses a PET sheet as the vibrating material of the main body, which the pickup microphone picks up.
This produces a line sound that emphasizes the mid-high range, allowing you to play lead sounds with a strong presence even in music that is crowded with sounds such as rock, ska, and reggae.
In contrast to the PRO-44Hv2, which has a detailed lead sound, the powerful sound of this product is the result of the craftsmanship of cutting the lead.
In addition, the punching metal main body cover is made by cutting the reflector that covers the valve part (sound outlet) to allow the lead sound of this product to be transmitted directly without any sound insulation.
This structure makes it possible to pick up the sound from the back closest to the lead when miking acoustic sounds.
The length of the hand strap can be adjusted to suit the size of the player's hands, so you can enjoy playing while keeping the instrument stable.
