What song do you want to play? Once you know what key it is in, you can
select the correct harmonica.

Diatonic harps come in all 12 keys. You'll need different ones
for different songs. For example, if you want to play along with "The
Spider and the Fly," you'll need an A harp. But if you want to jam
with "Midnight Rambler," you'll need an E harp. What songs do
you want to play?

And if you want to play along to "Missing You" you'll need a D.....and
Sugar Blue to play it, like Mick did. Can you believe that Mick and
Bob Dylan both supposedly got lots of studio work as harmonica players
for other artists early in their careers? If the bar was still that
low I'd be friggin' Miles Davis.

Yeah I heard Dylan in an interview state that he considers himself a harp player first and foremost.

the better question would be, who cares?

I guess he cares Blue though I dont know why.Unlike the Chrom. Pascal
You need differently tuned harps to play in different keys.Even if you were a master at playing in different positions one harp
doesnt fit all.I dont even know if it could be done.
Whattya say Pat? Is it possible to squeeze playing all keys out of (for instance) a ten holer tuned to C?

That's like asking what harp Neil Young or Bob Dylan plays.

Thats easy Blue.They share the same one.Have been since 62.
As you can probably tell passing it back and forth doesnt give em much time to practice.Just the other day they were asking Jagger
if he might want to chip in for a new one.After some thought they declined their offer.Never can tell where Jaggers mouth has been.

No, I don't think so. You'll have to bend blow reeds, which is very
difficult, or bend draw reeds one and a half tone. And since there are
some notes missing on the ten holer, you'll have to bend even further.
Furthermore, you can't play the proper chords.

I'm willing to bet that his harmonica's don't last him very long.....I'd
imagine that sort of strain on the reeds would push them beyond their
limits.....

My Hohner went south after a few months of bending. So this Howard Levy
will certainly overdraw his bank account. :-)

Nevertheless, impressive.

Very few people can do it.Theres an old boy who visits the harp on line
blues jam that can get em all on a C harp.Tinnius or something like
that is his name.He plays a 10 holer in a chromatic scale.Thats what I
call wringing out everything they've got then squeezing just a little
bit more.

Make sure you let me know the details Ben.I'd like to meet you in

I hope you dont end up owing them money.
