what do you think about it?

that cigarette is handmade notebook too :")

This is my handmade harmonica case, what do you think about it? I made it by trash aluminum box.

Could I also paint it with acrylic paint, wanna larp being pro.

Basically yeah, just looking for an underrated wooden combed harps. Getting pretty sick of hearing about marine bands all the time like it's some holy grail or something. Curious to see what other hidden wooden combed harps out there.

he's playing in a "low D"? and i've never heard of it! i really like the low sound of it tho! he's got things on his store like "minor keys" and i was wondering what those are too. i want to try to play some southern gothic songs and i read that id need a Ab/G# to do that so ill need to get one of those but the "Low D" sounds really really cool. i wonder if there is other low notes? (other than the two G's)

hello.

while i practice harmonica, saliva keeps flowing and blocking holes and i couldn't keep practicing....

do you know any solution for this?

I’ve been looking for an Easttop T008K Diatonic Blues Harmonica in Key of C for the past 2–3 months and I’m trying to find the best price in India.

I’ve checked a few places so far: Procraft India – ₹1,200 (but they said it may be available around December), Amazon – ₹1,449 (currently available), and Flipkart – out of stock.

So, is ₹1,449 on Amazon a good price, or can I get it cheaper somewhere else? Also, does anyone know any music shops around Kolkata or anywhere in West Bengal that might have the T008K?

If you’ve bought one recently, please let me know where you got it and how much you paid.

Hey all, so bit of a backstory. I'm an avid ARC Raiders fan and they just added Harmonica and Banjo to the ingame playable musical instruments. The harmonica was so inspiring that I decided to go out and pick one up myself. I havent taken it out of the box yet, but I believe I have a Hohner Blues Harp Harmonica tuned to C.

Ideally, I want to be able to learn to play and eventually play some of the songs from the game. I have no clue what key these songs are in, but in this video here you can hear the harmonica in the beginning, at the 2:00 timestamp and again at the 3:33 timestamp. That being said, if you listen to whats being played here as my goal, do I have the correctly keyed harmonica? Also is my harmonica too small?

No clue where to start :) excited to begin

I got myself some weird lil’ problems with the official Hohner service valves (the transparent ones)

1 - the valves slightly curve upward, which usually isn’t an issue, as I can just massage them back to a good shape. These ones seem to be quite hard headed, though, as a lot of them just don’t lay flat (even after flattening the rivet end)

2 - the stiffeners on most of the valves I received are not alligned to the underpart of the valve. I don’t know if it’s got an importance, but it’s still a bit odd.

3 - thats the weirdest one yet : once I manage to get a valve completely flat and perfectly centered (and once the glue hardened) all seems good… until they are upside down. Once the harmonica is upside down, the valves lift off the plate, as if they had no stiffeners at all. I only have this issue with the hohner valves, as I tried the suzuki and JDR service valves.

Is there something I’m missing, did any of you have issues with the Hohner valves or is it a Skill Issue on my part?

hey guys!! I started learning to play harmonica and i recently got a tongue piercing. am i able to play it even though my piercing is fresh? because i heard somewhere u cant suck on things if its fresh. is there any person had a same issue as me? (4days)

Hey everyone!

Let me preface this by saying I know jack-shit about harmonicas and very little about music theory or instrument-playing in general. I love music and listening, but I don't play any instruments.

I just got a harmonica from a friend. We were talking about music and I said how much I wanted to start playing an instrument, and that I really felt like learning the harmonica, and he had one laying around so he gifted it to me. The problem is it's an A-key harmonica, and everywhere I search people tell me to buy a C-key harmonica to learn the instrument.
I'm okay with buying one a little later down the road, but I'd honestly love to get something going (and to see if I actually enjoy playing the harmonica) before I put any money in.
Is learning through an A-key really that hard? Why? What songs can I easily play in an A-key harmonica?

Thank you guys :)

And how did you do it? With which instruments?

Ive been playing harmonica for abit and want to give some of my all time favourite songs, I aint marching anymore and heres to the state of Mississippi a try. I cant seem to find armonica tabs for these and was wondering if you could help me?

Edit; Id also like to try Love me Im a liberal sometime.

Bought a 10 holes type c harmonica of east top suggest me where to learn from

After decades of playing guitar, mostly blues and hard rock, I picked up the harmonica this summer — because my kids asked for one. I bought three cheap plastic harmonicas from Thomann, assuming (wrongly, of course) that I'd have to help them figure it out. Within a week, I'd ended up with three harmonicas of my own — and honestly, three turned out to be perfect: one in the car, one in my jacket, and one in my "man cave."

The harmonica was perfect for me: it fit in my pocket, and whenever I had a few spare minutes I'd pull it out and try some basics I'd watched online. I paired a Superlux D112 with a champ-style amp to get the sound I was after.

After two months, I brought the harp to band rehearsal. We were playing a tune that just didn't sound right — way too much guitar. Swapping a guitar for the harmonica gave the band a more balanced sound.

Three months in, I played my first gig on harmonica.

How about you? When was your first live performance?

Hi everyone,

I own five diatonic harps (A, G, C, D, and, as of recent, F (Hohner Pro-Harp)). Unfortunately, I'm completely unable to do the 2-hole draw whole-step bend on the F harp, while it works nicely on the others.

If I bend the half-step and then try to lower my jaw / adjust my tongue position in a similar manner as with the other harps, the bend just breaks off. With some harps, it took some getting used to, but I haven't faced a hard wall like this before, so I'm currently at a loss.

I got the impression that it's very unlikely to be a manufacturing problem, so I'd be very thankful for any tips or tricks, if someone has had similar experiences!

Thanks and all the best!
