I would like to test out higher end harmonicas. I currently own Seydel Session Steels, Hohner Special 20, Hohner Golden Melody, Hohner Rocket, Lee Oscar Major Diatonics.
I would like to consider purchasing a higher end, perhaps $70 - $200 diatonic harmonica. I would love a harmonica with a warm mellow tone.
They appear to be made in the same factory, the screw placement and all the dimensions are the same. Don't know if this was already common knowledge, but I found it interesting. Not bad harps at the price point.
Also, a shout-out to Rockin' Ron's, the sent within minutes of the order is no exaggeration. I will be buying from him again in the future.
Maybe I’m still just a noob but it seems like, if he is indeed playing a key of A, that he’s bending down to Gb during his first vocal line. I’ve never heard a full bend be so smooth and immediate like this before. Any advice?
So I’m wanting to learn harmonica for hobby/ relaxation. For now I’m going to be self taught. My goal now is to learn to cleanly play simple melodies from books I bought on Amazon. I plan on learning chromatic and diatonic together. I also am using the De Aloe method for chromatic. I also want to be able to read music in treble clef as I have a background in trombone (bass clef). The problem I’m having is I keep getting sidetracked by all the blues players I’m seeing on YouTube. I feel I’m trying to jump ahead and learn to run before walking. I think it would serve me better to stick with playing nice clean melodies for a while before even thinking about the blues, which I would also love to learn. Something like adhd kicks in and gets me stuck. Would appreciate some feedback if anyone can relate. Thanks.
I’ve been practicing getting bends with YouTube video lessons. So far the only one I could get is the 1st hole on a diatonic C key. Do different brands of harps make it less or more difficult to bend? Are there techniques you find particularly helpful? I saw someone mentioning relaxing jaw for the first hole and immediately I got results but the other ones I’ve not been successful so far.
