Hi,

Being an old guy (71) and fairly fresh playing the Harmonica, I am looking to Jam with a new "Meetup" group. Having not played with anybody else so far I have no idea what I am walking into. I believe there are 5 to 7 people there. 

Is just accompaniment using my various key harmonicas sufficient or do I need a cheap sound system? Something I can tuck under my arm? Would love suggestions on what equipment I would need and pointers where I can research setting up. 

Many Thanks,

Inky

I have a Hohner CX12 Chormatic and love it.  I, however, would love to be able to play at least an octive lower.  I LOVE those lower notes.  

Would you recommend getting a 64 hold chromatic OR just get a low tuned 12 hole?  

I'm looking to be as economical as possible while maximizing the quality and sound too?

Which 12 holes OR 16 holes would you recommend?

Would you get a key of C 16 hole OR Low key of C 12 hole OR would you recommend a different key?

Thankk you AND Happy Holdays!!!  Doug

Hey guys!  

Here is a heads up on a special amp I built for my friend Rupert Oysler back in 2010, that I am selling for him on reverb

Hi. I asked my wife if I could buy myself a mic, and she said yes. So, can you make a suggestion? I am on Level 4, I don't play in a band but I want the amplified sound, and around $100-$125 is my budget if possible, though maybe I can get a black Friday on a better mic to keep it at that price. I'll also need a cable. Can I play on a standard guitar amp (left over in my cellar from when my son lived here and played guitar as a teenager). Thanks.

Hey folks!

I was using Audacity on my Windows PC for my records for bluesharmonica.com. 

But since the earliest update the programm don't want to play my mp3's. So I decided to deleted an reinstall the program with 

the earliest update again. And then I became a virus warning. I tried it again. And again the warning. 

I was looking for informations about this case and I found this on a computer website:

In the Hohner Rocket Low model harmonica, which has the lower pitch?  Is it the key of F model or key of C model?

Hi,

does anyone have thoughts or experiences on using a spectrograph app (smartphone) to work on his bends ?

For me it looks like this:

and sure one can hear, that my bends need work, but now one can clearly see it too :-)

So I am kind of optimistic, that this will help me to improve ...

Did anyone try something similar ?

Best,Marc

I may have seen some prior discussion about this. The plastic case that Hohner sells with its CX12 is a tad oversized. I.e., it'll fit not only the harmonica, but also a family of five. And their dog. continue reading...
