Body and cover material following MANJI

MANJI SKY has the same body as MANJI. The material used is resin mixed with wood fibres extracted from trees, which combines the tone of wood with the durability of plastic. Wood has countless small spaces, which is one of the reasons for the warm tone unique to wood. Similarly, the body also reproduces that structure inside. (*Cross-sectional view). The solid body reinforced with wood fibres produces a warm sound that is different from the tone created from ordinary plastic body, and because the body itself transmits the sound, it features a sound that sounds like the entire harmonica is groaning. There is no deformation caused by moisture, which is a problem with wooden body.

MANJI’s distinctive cover

MANJI SKY uses the same cover as the well-established MANJI. The cover shape with the entire back open is designed to allow the reed sound to resonate without loss. Large sound holes are also provided on the sides of the covers to provide the best sound return to the performer. It has a traditional shape to provide a player with exquisite hold feeling and sound projection.
