NEW!NEW!NEW!

Now visit our new fully demonstrated "Tunes to Try" page.

If you have never played before, it`s just like having a friend showing you a simple tune for the first time!

If you are an expert, maybe you`d like to write your own in this format!

Your comments and tips are welcome on this page, just e-mail us by clicking right here with the subject header intact and we will know it is a readers letter contribution and not a normal enquiry.

Obviously any other letters to us are totally confidential.

Needless to say they should not be objectionable, obscene, in bad language, simply nasty, or slanderous (about us or anyone else!) and will be subject to our editing and selection although a certain amount of humorous or at least good-humoured controversy might be quite enjoyable!

The editor`s selection will be final and letters the length of war and peace may be turned into a Reader`s Digest potted history the size of a bus ticket as necessary.

However we have started you off with a few harmonica tips below

PLAYING TIPS

  • By placing your harmonica at an angle to your mouth you can often more easily select single notes

  • By placing the harmonica pointing upwards you can moderate the tone and possibly encourage bending

  • It is possible to go between a range of at least three holes on your harp without even moving the instrument, by shaping your mouth at the instrument and subconsciously pointing the tongue. This can add to your speed and even accuracy.

  • OK NOW IT `S YOUR TURN!

We stock diatonic blues harps in all keys and chromatic harmonicas in sizes 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 hole. Makes include HOHNER, LEE~OSCAR, TOMBO, HERING, SUZUKI and we even stock spare Lee Oscar Reed Plates as a matter of course for replacement into existing Lee Oscars.
