Considered somewhat extended in range by the
number of notes. Contains a complete “chromatic” 1 1/3 octaves naturally
or 1 ¾ octaves with a retuned top bass bridge (again, commonly highly
unused duplicate of the “D” on the top right treble bridge). It has 3
octaves of the diatonic scale of “G”, 2 ¾ octaves of the key
of “D” and “C”, 1 ¾ octaves of “F”, 2 1/3
octaves of “A”, and 1 ¾ octaves of “E”. Most commonly plays in the keys of
C, G, D, A, Am, Em, Bm, and some in Dm, Gm, F
and E. The extended range of this model is in the lower register giving a
much bigger, lower pitched voice to the instrument. The full key of “A”
and partial key of “E” is important for playing with other folk
instruments. The added lower register on the bass bridge adds the
important “tonic notes” of “D” and “E” for the very common keys of D major
and E minor. Though larger in range, the 16-15 “Ultralight” remains very
light (14lbs) and only slightly larger than the 15-14: 43 3/8’ x 17’ x4
1/4 ‘. |
