I purchased a High G harmonica from Amazon.

 

After waiting for about 15 days for the item to come ( International post )

 

I open my box and see a G harmonica is inside a High G  Box. Apparently the store put the wrong harmonica there.

 

Amazon says I need to go to post office and return the product to get refund . Wow what a headache.

 

Time is money , Does not worth the time spent :)

I had my first look and listen through the lesson plan for LOA 3 today, and yes there was one or two expletives!! I do share my journey on bluesharmonica with my partner and although she is not a lover of the blues she is very supportive.

I did let her listen to Blues Creeping over Me and on explaining that this was one of my study songs, I couldn't help but notice on more than one occassion during the song, her face contorting trying not to burst out laughing.....all she could say at the end was "you had better get away and practice then, good job there's nothing on TV you like". continue reading...

Hello,

I understand that for a better sound a large embochure is preferable. Would puffing the cheeks make the sound even better?

Best,

(Does the "Byrd" in the title have something to do with our very own Sonny Boy's Bye Bye Bird?) The book has earned nice reviews and was also National Book Award finalist for 2017.

Here's the short intro of the book from amazon: continue reading...
