Overview
Suzuki builds the Manji with wooden cover plates, giving it a more mellow tone than the standard model while the blow feel stays powerful. It is tuned in a compromised system that emphasizes the resonance of chords.
Treble components are suppressed for a rounder voice, and the tuning suits blues and rock with many vamps. A walnut cover adds the wood feel. The limitation is that the reed plate material and any hole spacing details are not described.
Who it's for
Players of blues and rock who favor chord playing and a softer voice. Those who want a bright, cutting tone, or who need reed plate material listed, should look at other models.

Performance notes
The wood cover plates reduce treble components, which is where the mellow tone comes from. The compromised tuning favors chords over single-note purity. Blow feel is described as powerful.
