I want to buy harmonica for my grand daughter but don't know which one to select. What's the meaning of harmonica for blues, G, C, D etc? She is a very beginner player. Thank you for the help.

I think the most common is C. but its related with the music you want to play, I love the bass tone of the G harmonicas but its not always the best for all songs. C is a good choice for the first Harmonica, but if your grand daugther loves to play it, she will finally get like 4 or 5 harmonicas and also the Hohner HB-6 Harmonica, for carrying all her Harmonicas. I think you dont have to buy expensive harmonicas at first, try to give her a beginner harmonica and see if she really loves it. Ive given several harmonicas to enthusiastic teenagers who finally dropped the instrument. so it's not worthy to spend a lot of money for a begginer. later youll see and perhaps you will buy for her a "Lee Oskar" or a "Marine Band".

I play flute and started August of 2013 and on this flute I can play low and high "E" and "F". I am not sure if you can play high "G" or if I have just not learned that note yet. I am certain though that you can play all of the following high notes: "E","F","C","D",and "B".

Just wanted to thank you for letting it be known the answers were helpful. So many people don't do that, and I believe it helps our rating rank (not to mention a potential customer such as yourself), but only if the person asking says the answer was helpful, so thanks for taking the time to do that. I bet your granddaughter will LOVE this (and if she's into pink-even more so), plus it's a Fender guitar and they make quality products. If you need help w/ a good, cost effective amp, let me know as the 1 we bought on Amazon was perfect for the situation/who was using it. Anyways, thanks again and Happy Holidays :)!!

The casing on this particular model in the case is not as rigid in quality like the "Blues Blender" however, for the price you can't go wrong. You still have to break them in before you attempt to bend a note or you'll blow the reed out, which won't be worth the cost factor for replace or repair. They are pretty good. I purchased them because their made by Hohner, and because I was curious to hear what they sound like. I also however, purchased the "Blues Bender" to which there is no comparison if you are really into playing. The Blues Bender is one sturdy harp that lives up to its reputation. I love it, and I will continue to stick by Hohner.

I have two of the Hohner 32Bs (one for home, one for friend's house). Both needed some tuning, a frustrating process, but worth it. The D'Luca needed the most tuning. It has a somewhat more piercing tone, if that's what you like, and more uneven touch response across the keyboard.

Yes, Susan, the one I have is "Made in Germany," it's so stamped, and I love it as well as my Crossover which was also made in Germany. However "The Golden Melody" I still have my doubts about even though Hohner from Germany assured me that it was. If the harmonica itself is not stamped "Made in Germany," I'd stay away from it. A paper sticker to me means the sticker only is made in Germany. I recognize German quality when I see it. Bill

I think you are asking about a Bb (flat) trumpet and a C trumpet. Those refer to the keys the instrument is made in. Almost all music is written for a Bb trumpet. The C trumpet is sometimes used in orchestra. Another use of the C trumpet is to avoid transposition. If you are buying a trumpet for a beginner, buy a Bb trumpet. And remember... buy a high quality instrument. A high quality instrument will sound better, will have very few mechanical problems and retains it's resale value.

Hello MJ. I have been asked if I can help with your Q: If you will notice, there are 3 different colored Snark tuners. The Black one is called the 'super tight', the Red one dos say 'all instrument' + guitar. 'Chromatic' and 'Melodic' scales as played on the piano, have a wider assortment of noted within the scale itself. A 'Chromatic' tuner is sensitive to a wider range of notes which will in fact include those from a Guitar and other instruments. I hope this helps some what. You need not worry, the SN2 will work just fine on your guitar because your guitar can play 3 or 4 levels through a 'Chromatic' scale up and down the neck. WDG Hello MJ.

Like everyone above has stated... a key of "C" is the way to go because it is the most likey play with your average everyday songs. When she learns to bend notes and if she wants to be a Blues player, I recommend "D" and "G" to get along with that "C".

The Hohner 1501/7 Blues Band, 7 pack is made in China. I found that the F harmonica's reeds are a little tight for bending. However the remaining 6 harmonica keys, although not as flexible as Lee Oskar harmonicas, have reeds that bend pretty well.

Yes, but not all. Relative Minor Scales for G C and F, Eminor and A minor. Also as with any other Diatonic box you can "fake" quite a few other keys with missing notes. What are you intending to play??

Interesting question. I have not used a harmonica with it but I am sure if you hold harmonica close to mic it will be good.

Gregory: I think the free trial is a great idea on Pandora's part- I know that it is worth it to me to continue. Iespecially like how you can create your own stations so easily. Or you can find others that have been seeded for you-Blue Note records has seeded several jazz stations that are fantastic.How will I know when the time is up- will the Pandora simply stop working?Chuck

dear Sir,we asked and read tons of reviews before we bought the Yamaha, which is for our son, who was 8 at that time. His piano teacher recommended better this brand, from her experience. the piano sounds great and my son enjoys playing it. hope this helps.

I'm a Hohner harmonica player and buyer. The blues band harmonica is in the low end of Hohner harmonicas.I consider it like a toy, compared to the Better end of Hohner harmonicas the special 20's marine band.I suggest you get a few special 20's and you will thank me later!! The special 20's are both used by biginner intermediate and pros.good luck with your disition

The one I bought is very well made. It will take the thickness of just about any harmonica. But mine will not take anything longer than a 10 hole harmonica.

Though Hohner is a German company, the harmonica itself is made in China, stamped on the bottom reed cover. If you want an inexpensive harmonica that breaks easy, buy this one. If not, buy a basic Marine Band, or Blues Harp. They are better insruments.
