  
The XB-40’s revolutionary design permits a level of expression and note
bending capability never before possible on harmonicas. On a regular
10-hole diatonic, or Marine Band type harmonica, only 8 of the 20 notes
(10 blow/10 draw) can be bent a semitone or more. Using patented valve
chambers and auxiliary reeds, every note on the XB-40 can be bent a whole
tone using standard note bending technique, making possible a complete
chromatic scale. 10 Holes and 40 reeds.
