This instrument provides the fundamental bass tones, with double reeds, for the tonic and the dominant (the first and fifth tones) of the major scales of F, C, and G, and six tones in each of the tonic and dominant chords of the same keys. It will be a splendid addition to harmonica band and is almost indispensable in small ensembles.

As F is the subdominant in the key of C, and C is the subdominant in the key of G, in these two keys, C and G, the Vineta provides the principal chords that are used am an accompaniment to more than 50% of the songs ever written.

The "blow" tones give the fundamental bass tones and the tonic major chords, and the "draw" tones the dominant bass and the dominant seventh chords.

To simplify matters for both the player and the arranger of music for this instrument, the notation for the Vineta is reduced to a single note with notes to indicate the rhythm with large letters for the bass tones and small letters for the chords under the notes, "blow" tones indicated by plain letters and draw tones by 1etters with an apostrophe.
