The Andean harp (Spanish/ Quechua: arpa), also known as the Peruvian harp, or indigenous harp, is widespread among peoples living in the highlands of the Andes: Quechua and Aymara, mainly in Peru, and also in Bolivia and Ecuador. It is relatively large, with a significantly increased volume of the resonator box, which gives basses a special richness. It usually accompanies love dances and songs, such as huayno. [33] One of the most famous performers on the Andean harp was Juan Cayambe ( Pimampiro Canton, Imbabura Province, Ecuador [34]) This layout easily allows the playing of notes most important in C major, that of the C major triad: C, E, and G. The tonic chord is played by blowing and the dominant chord is played by drawing.It is made with good materials as you would expect from Hohner and has brass reeds and a Doussie brown wooden comb. Doussie is an orange and brown wood that matures with age. The comb is an essential part of the instrument being the main body which covers the internal air chambers. If we use a solo-tuned harmonica instead of richter-tuned, it will be in 3rd position, a ii-minor key. So in the case of a C harmonica, it will be in the key of D minor. This is called "slant harp." Minor keys can also be easily played in 4th and 5th positions. This harmonica also has a Doussie wood mouthpiece. The covers are stainless steel, and it has brass reed plates. You can see then that Hohner has used quality materials in the manufacture of this instrument. These 14 free guitar lessons are from Annie Raines’ Blues Harmonica Blueprint, the definitive learning system for blues harmonica. Over two years in the making, with hundreds of hours dedicated just to the visual notation guides and animations, the Blues Harmonica Blueprint and its interactive video format sets a new standard for harmonica instruction. The course drills deeper and wider than any blues harmonica course ever published, but more importantly, its effectiveness as a teaching system is unprecedented — finally, you will clearly see, hear and understand the ins and outs of blues harmonica. It is good to see that the seventh harmonica has a B flat tuning. This is more practical for playing Blues harmonica than a straight B scale would have been. They are all ten-hole instruments.

At the time of its release, many found the Hohner Special 20 to be comfortable to play, thanks to its unique recessed reed plates.

The recessed reed plates and airtight design allow for faster sound production. Its comb is made of plastic, which is durable since it doesn't absorb any moisture, while its classic reeds and tuning provides great response and rich tone.

It takes a bit more effort when it comes to taking it apart for cleaning and tuning, but with proper care, it's built to be durable and long lasting. Many users mentioned the holes were smaller and its built-in wooden comb were stiffer compared to other harmonicas they have tried. Another method is to play in the key one whole tone above that of the harmonica. On a C-tuned harmonica, this would mean playing in the key of D. This is known as "slant harp" or "third position" playing, and results in the harmonica playing in dorian mode. This is much less intuitive as it requires the ability to bend notes completely accurately, and there are fewer useful chords available than in first or second-position playing. The technique offers many notes that are not achievable in the other positions without overblows, such as the blue note on the third degree, which may or may not be favorable depending on the circumstance. The bends available at the lower end of the instrument also make playing melodies in a D major scale relatively easy for those who have any semblance of proficiency at the bending technique, though most of the notes (all but the second and fourth, E and G) in the scale are on the draw, requiring great skill and strategy in exhaling, even more so than in crossharp.

LISTEN AND WATCH

Hohner 532BXC Blues Harp MS Modular System Diatonic Harmonica, C-major– Best All Round Blues Harmonica For a beginner, they are quite good. I suspect, though, that once the starter has learned to play a bit, they will grow out of them quite soon.

Nonetheless, we’re barely scraping the surface here. Until now we’ve been gentle on ourselves regarding First Position duties. At worst we’ve been musically derelict. So in penance to the specter of 1st Position past, let’s plunge in headlong and really test our powers of concentration regarding the IV chord. One respected source said he suspected this was actually made by the UK company Easttop Harmonicas. And that it just had a Fender logo slapped all over it. Another said it was actually made by Lee Oskar, a Danish harmonica player, in conjunction with a Japanese company Tombo Manufacturing. Again, with the Fender logo applied.

Half-Valved diatonics are made by fitting windsavers on half the lower reed in each opening: draw holes 1–6 and blow holes 7–10; this way, all these reeds can be bent down a semitone at least, although most players can easily bend down a whole tone. Alternatively, one can simply buy a factory-made valved diatonic such as the Suzuki Promaster Valved. The vibrato might also be achieved via rapid glottal (vocal fold) opening and closing, especially on draws (inhalation) simultaneous to bending, or without bending. This obviates the need for cupping and waving the hands around the instrument during play.
