The Chromatic Harmonica is made for soloists focused on enhanced volume and durability. With the metallic cover plates, Laelaps 48 Stellar gives a more sonorous tone colour.  Its titanium comb body gives an explosive tone colour at the treble octave. The sonorous tone colour gives an outstanding position for the main melody when it is played with other instruments. The straight slide construction features a fast response to the switch between the diatonic and semitone. The small size of the Laelaps 48 Stellar allows significant hand effects.
