सर, नमस्ते! इस म्युझिक क्षेत्र में, आप के जैसा माहीर और मददगार इंसान मैने आज तक नहीं देखा। आप का यह व्हिडीओ, मेरे लिये तो बहुतही खास है, क्यू की मैं C और G स्केल के दो हार्मोनिका लेने जा रहा हूं..(esttop12 & cx12) इसके चलते मैं जरा कन्फ्युज था, मगर अब आप के गाईडन्स की वजह से राहत मिल गयी...मेरे जैसे और सब के लिये, आप के सुझाव बहुमुल्य है...आप का तहे दिल से शुक्रिया सर..!🙏😍
Advice to buy Harmonica: 1) Versatility - Chromatic with slider, not Diatonic. 2) Budget - low budget because can damage as a beginner. 3) Number of holes - 16 hole has 4 octaves, 24 holes has 3 octaves. Start with 12 holes. 4) Scales - For Beginner take C scale. Then for Intermediate - A and G scale. 5) Design - Holes round or rectangular. Mouth piece thin or broader. Comb wooden or plastic. Valve reduces your effort but creates problems in playing as a beginner. So avoid as a beginner. Buy chromatic, 12 holes, C scale, without valve, low budget as a beginner.
Excellent precise knowledge Shared sir.its useful for all types of players.excess saliva Is common among all types Of players,of course some players can manage better Than others.yet it's there. Another common problem With valves harmonicas is Blockage in winters.However these can in Managed to some extent. Exposing them to sunlight.

A humble request from you sir.I was considering to purchase a 14 hole harmonica. Earlier I had purchased a 16 Hole chromatic harmonica and Was very disappointed as the Response was very poor.

Sir, thank you for another video giving good, sound, reasonable and logical guidance. Thanks a lot. Sir, one thing I really miss (at least in Delhi) is that there is no place where one may go and select a harmonica after trying it, either the seller would not allow to open the box or not let you play the harmonica, so one is left with no option. Either one would only go by the heard name or hit and try funda. Sir, if you know any seller who would allow to let one try before purchasing do let us know. It would be of great help to many. 🙏🙏
I think no seller should allow to try before buying and if someone is doing so, dont buy from him. In my experiance, trusted brandes have good quality checks.
Ji Sir, that why I mentioned hit and try method. We can only see suitability only after purchasing it, whether round or rectangular holes, type of mouth piece, tone etc. Also Sir, even you have very correctly said that lot a things are personal choices hence there can hardly be any thumb rule.
One more thing, during these pandemic days, one should desist from trying to play a mouth organ which you do not own. Playing someone else instrument can be dangerous during Covid time.
@@pradeepkumarjain9785 Yes Pradeep ji, you are of course correct in these present time, but my concern was of general times i.e. when Pandemic was not there or when it's over. Even if we are not playing it, we should be able to at least check the variety.
I have been playing harmonica since the age of about 10 yrs. I played Hohners’ Comet, Echo, Marineband and Puck. Quite early I zeroed on Puck C due to low consumption of breath and I have been playing it since 1960. In between I had the opportunity to play my friend’s harmonica with slider but I couldn’t purchase one due to its price. Now my daughter got me one Hohner’s Chromatic 12 holes C scale model. I request your guidance as to how can I learn it easily.
Very good explanations and advice. I want to purchase super chromonica 270, c scale,12 holes. Pl advice, is it OK? If yes, where from I will get it. With thanks and respect. S.mukherjee Bangalore.
Good points, completely agree. Newbie (and maybe stupid) question, as I do not have any experience with anything except my 24 hole budget harmonica. On these valve harmonicas, if a valve sticks because of moisture, will the associated reed still produce it's note (minus the benefit of the valve) or is it as good as a stuck reed?
Good morning sir. I am intrested to learn harmonica, but due to my duties and unavailability of a teacher I am unable to do it. But your video again inspired me. So plese, please guide me, how can I learn form you, and which harmonica ( with company and model) is best for me. And thanks again for your inspiring video. Please guide me.
I am a beginner who has been learning for the last 5 months only. I started with 12 holes chromatic C scale only but when I started practicing to play the chromatic notes, i was advised to go for reversed slider. I now practice with a C scale harmonica with the slider reversed. I will be immensely benefitted if you let me know what is your expert opinion about it?
Sirji i m a beginner amd want to learn harmonica can you please suggest me which one to buy as you have mentioned ctype 12 chromatic ..can you mention some name of the company so which i can buy?? Please
SIRJI, can you please provide address fro purchasing microphone harmonica which can be attach to harmonic. in USA very bulky microphone harmonica are available.
Tku so much sir ..yes this guidance is very useful...sir last time u gave me one link to buy scale A harmonica..I couldn't trace and whenever I asked them scale a harmonica they shows only c scale chromatic harmonica even I daily search on Ali Express or Amazon they also show only C scale or G scale harmonica but I couldn't not locate A scale harmonica..hope sir u wl reply..with regards
You need to contact seller directly for that. In lower budget range, A scale is available in Sergio Tordini and you may check with Mr Peter for that. Otherwise Hohner 270, CX12, Suzuki SCX48 etc have A scale
Dr sb, I am not a beginner nor expert, I am having Tower and wish to buy a chromatic Harmonica of 12 holes range 5000±. I am little confused. Pl advise. Rgds

Another common problem
With valves harmonicas is

Exposing them to sunlight.
Since harmonicas don't get
Overheated due to less heat
Radiated by the sun.many senior players are already
Aware of this.or keeping the
Harmonicas covered in thick
Cloth covered hot water bottles.the safest solution to
This problem.
A humble request from you sir.I was considering to purchase a 14 hole harmonica.
Earlier I had purchased a 16 Hole chromatic harmonica and
Was very disappointed as the
Response was very poor.
I like playing on lower octaves,I would like your guidance If I should buy
14 hole harmonica.should
I go for budget harmonica
Or a high end model.

Please keep playing 12 hole. It's sufficient
