Detail 01
Natural Minor tuning
Reeds retuned so minor scales fall under the standard draw pattern. The hole layout no longer matches a major harp.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Natural Minor tuned diatonic harmonica in C minor. For players covering minor-key rock and folk material without relying on bends.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Minor-key songs where a C-rooted harp fits the chart
- Folk rock players filling out minor progressions
- Rounding out a harp case that already covers major keys
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners — a standard major diatonic teaches the basics better
- Players who want major-key blues with bent notes
- Anyone needing to change keys mid-song
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Key of C minor
In second position this plays in G minor. Match the harp key to the song key before ordering.
Detail 03
Diatonic, not chromatic
One key only. Other keys require another harmonica or position work.
Detail 04
Replaceable reed plates
Plates are sold separately, so a flat or dead reed is a repair rather than a replacement.
Detail 05
Molded plastic comb
Stays dimensionally stable with moisture, unlike wood combs that can swell against the reed plates.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check whether your song wants C minor or the second-position G minor
- 02Single harmonica only — no case or accessories included
- 03Layout differs from a major harp; muscle memory will not transfer directly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from a C major harmonica?
Several reeds are tuned differently to produce a minor scale. A C major harp plays minor material only through bending; this plays it directly.
02What key does it actually sound in?
First position gives C minor. Second position, the common cross-harp approach, gives G minor.
03Can worn reeds be fixed?
Yes. Lee Oskar sells reed plates separately, so you replace the plate rather than the whole instrument.
04Should I buy A minor or C minor first?
Match it to the songs you play. There is no default minor key the way C is the default major starting harp.
