Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
For blues you usually play cross harp, a fourth above the harp's key. This G harp puts you in D. For blues in E, buy an A.
Diatonics are the standard starting point and easy to make sound. This particular one is expensive for a first harp — the Folkmaster is the cheaper way in.
Only songs that sit in G or its related positions. Notes outside the scale require bending technique, and some are not available at all.
Reeds wear with playing and go flat over time. Hard blowers wear them faster. Playing gently and keeping it dry extends its life considerably.
