i dabble and have been trying to teach myself a little more lately. i have heard the hohner marine harps mentioned several times when asking at bluegrass jam sessions and also from a harmonica player i just started playing guitar with. from personal experience i can only say to stay clear of the kay chicago blues harmonica packs. they are dirt cheap, but for a reason. here's a link to a musicians friend page for a hohner... www.musiciansfriend.com/product/General/Accessories/Harmonica?sku=420670 |

oh yes, I knew rubberneck would be into it, the third wave folk legend that he is.
You'll need to get one of them harmonica racks like the great Boby Dylan and Neil Young.
Hohner is where it's at.

I always wanted a hohner harmonica... I don't like the fact you have to buy a different one for different keys, but I guess that's a neccessity. One day, though, I'd like to own a Jew's Harp, then piss off anyone within a block of me.

haha...jew's harp is the greatest instrument ever. you're all lucky that I don't have access to it or it would be linked, but a friend of mine has a video of an excessive, 10 minute jam of "Blue Moon" involving guitar, keyboard, saxaphone, drums...and lead jew's harp. much raving ensued. oh god why do i only pursue stupidity with music...

best harmonica player ive ever seen is Bille (pronounced bill-aye) from Blue Shaddy.
hes fucking crazy! just cant explain how hard he goes off on the harp.
at one gig that i was mixing for, he managed to blow his amp. now thats fucking rock and roll.
