Hohner Harp Holder - 10 Hole Harmonica

Product Information

I’d like to add that playing the Harmonica while playing a different instrument is pretty difficult, and you should consider the time and effort this will take as well to learn how to play the Harmonica while playing something else as well.

This gave his harmonica tone a "punchy" midrange sound that could be heard above an electric guitar. In 1829, Charles Wheatstone developed a mouth-organ under the name "Aeolina" (inspired by the Aeolian harp).

The Eison harmonica holder gives you a hands-free ability to play other instruments at the same time you’re playing your harmonica. Accessories [ edit ] Mark Wenner cups his hands around a "bullet mic" as he plays amplified harmonica. This harp can be used for any style, including Celtic, classical, jazz, or blues (commonly in third position). Recordings known at the time as "race records", intended for the black market of the southern states, included solo recordings by DeFord Bailey and duo recordings with a guitarist ( Hammie Nixon, Walter Horton, or Sonny Terry).

Wind-savers are used when two reeds share a cell and leakage through the nonplaying reed would be significant. Bends are essential for most blues and rock harmonica due to the soulful sounds the instrument can bring out.

Major companies are now found in Germany ( Seydel and Hohner – the dominant manufacturer in the world), South Korea ( Miwha, Dabell), Japan ( Suzuki, Tombo – the manufacturer of the popular Lee Oskar harmonica, and Yamaha also made harmonicas until the 1970s), China (Huang, Easttop, Johnson, Leo Shi, Swan, AXL), and Brazil (Hering, Bends).

To use the harmonica holder, you will need to place it around your neck so you can reach your harmonica when performing.The only real difference is that the steel on this version appear to be a bit inferior to some of its sister versions in the same HH-series. The distinguishing feature of the tremolo-tuned harmonica is that it has two reeds per note, with one slightly sharp and the other slightly flat. The harmonica first appeared in Vienna, where harmonicas with chambers were sold before 1824 (see also Anton Reinlein and Anton Haeckl).
