Diatonic Harmonica Harp
Monday, July 5th, 2010Diatonic Harmonica Harp
Whats the point of having diatonic harmonicas?
When there are chromatic harps that can play the same scales in any key?
Besides the ease of playing a diatonic harmonica.
Thats basically it...the ease of it already being tuned to a scale. Also the tone will be a lot more rounder on chromatics and you can bend better without worrying about ruining an expensive harp if it is diatonic.
harmonica question...?
i looked on the hohner site at some. the two i liked the most were
the educator 10
http://www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?1647
and
the slide harp
http://www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?33
so my quetion is, are these good harmonicas (i'm just starting out, so are they good for a beginner?) do you have any other recommendations? (i don't really know any other harmonica brands) and whats the difference between diatonic and chromatic?
There are a lot of types of harmonicas out there and I'd check out the website www.harmonicasandstuff.com and look under the begginers tab.
They also sell harmonicas (all types) and the owners are really great folks!
Good luck!
