SOUND TEST Kettlewell Resonant Covers #2 chromatic harmonica David Kettlewell
Inventor of the Kettlewell Resonant Covers, David Kettlewell, provides SOUND TESTS in his recording studio of the newly designed and built covers by Russ Camerer. Exquisite!
Tone is richer, with more pungent soft notes and great power when needed. They act somewhat like the bell of a trumpet.

(My apologies for describing this as a Seydel Gregoire Maret, it's actually a Suzuki Gregoire Maret)
The Resonant covers act like the bell of a trumpet, focusing sound and allowing the sound waves to multiply one upon another. It is an acoustically valid cover. These were designed and built by Russ Camerer using a 3D printer.
Background track is Bach and Gonoud's AVE MARIA with Yo Yo Ma on cello and Kathryn Stott, piano.
David utilizes the Kettlewell Frictionless Mouthpiece which he also invented, the Maret also has his ERGO button, comfortable at all angles of slide activation. The slider makes movement to new note hole positions easier, improves tone a bit, provides relaxed embouchure, and keep harps cleaner.
Here he plays an airtightened Suzuki Gregoire Maret, with spacer to 16 hole covers can be used on a 12 hole chromatic.
