Hello David!

I know there are many topics with this problem and I have also seen the video with the instructions regarding the 2 draw.I have an A and a C harmonica. Is it possible to make it on C and not on A? (both are hohner special 20 progressive).I would also like to ask you which harmonica i'll use for the first level of achievement. C harmonica or A?

PS: Bluesharmonica is the best thing that happened to me this year! Thank you for the excellent work you and your colleagues have done!

 

Elsa.

Thank you Elsa, I'm glad that

Thank you Elsa, I'm glad that you're enjoying your studies.

The 2 draw issue can happen on both keys of harmonica for some people, and others just one key (and some lucky people don't have the issue at all). Either way, it's something that will need to be worked on to overcome.

I use the A Harmonica for all the beginning study material, so I recommend you focus your playing on the A. You will use the C Harmonica, but not until Level 4.
