just bought 1 today in the key of c in love with it my next harp is going to be a blues harp in Bb. Ben do you know and blues festivals or places where they jam some blues in the north east of England co. Durham Newcastle area i understand you may not know but it's worth a shot : )

[benhewlettuk]

@crabcore44 Probably best to google it, I don't know any personally - or check with the NHL - they know everything to do with harmonica!

[JohnnyBazooka]

Thank you.

This Hohner is one of my favourites to buy. I'm a beginner and I just got a cheap harp which is terrible :-(

Are there other harps which are better for beginners?

[benhewlettuk]

@JohnnyBazooka Sure, I recommend the Sonnyboy's Special from SonnyboysMusicStore dot co dot uk.

[nobunagahehe]

thanks sir!!

anyway which one do you prefer, Big River Vs Blues Bender?

[benhewlettuk]

@nobunagahehe Both good harps, probably go for the Blues Bender or the Sonnyboy Special even better.

[KendrickMcMurphy]

Tabs for 2:04 - 2:18 please. Amazing

[Thesixthgoon]

As someone who has never played a harp before, would this one be kind to beginners? I found this one (key of c) on amazon for £16 and I'd like your opinion.

[Graemebomac]

What is the name of the Bach Tune?

[MrCortin13]

i have a big river harp in G and my 5 hole blow is a bit muffled and a bit and less clear than it should be. do you know what the problem might be? Thanks in advance

@benhewlettuk

Thanks, I already bought 2 harps. Hohner Pro Harp MS and Sydel Session. Both are great compared to the china-harp ;-)

@Thesixthgoon Maybe 9 months is too long to wait for the answer, but anyway. Personally I think that Big River is the best harp for beginners out of all Hohner harmonicas because it's slightly bigger than other Hohner harps, its holes are wider, and it's pretty easy to bend notes on it. I hope this helped.
