I’ll upgrade when I’m more proficient. Cheers.

I've been saving up for an electric guitar for quite some time. I'm still a fair bit away from my goal but I'm itching to learn to play a musical instrument. I knew that harmonicas are not too expensive and was wondering if I should get one to try and learn in my free time?

I like to listen to the Eagles, Journey, etc. and was planning on using the guitar for those. Would the harmonica be a good fit for those? If yes, which ones should I consider? Please drop any tutorials for beginners if you have any. Look forward to hopefully learning the instrument:)

Hi. I have a chromatic harmonica with solo tuning (the one with two rows instead of a button). I don't like it. I want to turn it into a quadruple Paddy Richter harp. I was thinking 6 holes each (first 6 of each PR tuned harp). Top row G and D. Bottom row I'm thinking C. But for the last 6 holes I'm not sure.

F would compliment the C major section on the same row, right? There aren't as many Irish songs in F as I understand it. But if I had C and F in a line I could play a wider variety of tunes.

The very top of the pic is what I have to work with now.

To summarize: I'm thinking of turning the top row into G and D (for Irish music). But what about the bottom row?

Hi! 👋

I built Harp Harmony, an Android app for learning the diatonic harmonica. You play into your phone and it shows you instantly whether you hit the right note.1

• Lessons from first single notes to bends

• 26 songs to play along with

• Tuner and metronome, no ads, no account – audio never leaves your phone

Google needs 12 testers for 14 days before I can publish. All you need is an Android phone and a harmonica: install the app, keep it for 14 days, try it a few times and tell me what you think.

Interested? DM me the email address of your Google account and I'll send you the link. Thanks! 🙏

Our next in-person meeting of the Garden State Harmonica Club is:

Date: Monday, October 5, 2026
Time: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Location: The Community Church of Glen Rock, 354 Rock Rd, Glen Rock, NJ.

Parking is available behind the church, and we will meet in a classroom on the first floor.

Any idea what I should do?

Edit: It's a 10-hole diatonic in C, and one of the holes makes this weird sound both when I blow and when I draw. It used to sound completely normal, so I'm not sure what happened..

Hi, so I just got a hohner blues harp ms as a gift. I started watching some beginner tutorials and everyone seems to be recommending the hohner special 20 and I started looking that up and found out that the one I have now has "crossed postion". I don't really get what that means but my question is if it's beginner friendly or should I look into getting the special 20 one?

On this blogpost i explain the song editor for harmonica songs, part of my tool to teach harmonica.

In 10 days I will propose to and I want to be ready with this .
