@kazhilly Thank you, Kazhily,

Yes, I agree. It is an amazing piece of music. And the lyrics express the undaunted faith and optimism of the 'Man of LaMancha ', Cervantes' tragi-comic knight.

I play a Hohner 64 chromatic. An equivalent instrument is also produced by Herring and Suzuki, I believe.

I play a Hohner 64 chromatic. The instrument is pitched in 'C', but being chromatic, it can be played in any key, although only a handful of players have accomplished this.

Best wishes,

Tips:

1. Learn to blow and draw single notes by tongue-blocking or puckering. I'm a tongue-blocker myself.

2. Don't spend all your time playing tunes. Learn the 12 major scales. Of course you can enjoy the instrument without doing this, but if you really want to master the chromatic harmonica, it's pretty much a requirement.
