The Blues Bender P.A.C. features "Patented Acoustic Covers" from the Marine Band Harmonica, the all time favourite among serious players since 1896.

The Blues Bender P.A.C. features thicker than normal reed plates for a consistent tone. It is extremely airtight between the mouthpiece and the reed plates, allowing for easier note bending and making expressive playing easier.
