Many of us poo-poo the practice of the major scale our instrument was constructed to play so well. Did you know that the C Major Scale on your C Major Harmonica contains the notes needed to play in seven positions?

Here are the full three octaves. Give it a play and let's discus it for a while.

1+ 1 2+ 2" 2 3" 3 4+
4+ 4 5+ 5 6+ 6 7 7+
7+ 8 8+ 9 9+ 10 10'+ 10+
