  • I finally got one! Hey I have a question though. I bought mine on ebay, so I was just wondering how loose the hinges are suppose to be. Also, there aren't many places where I can find lessons on how to play it, I'd love it if you could make more videos about it! Thanks!

  • @SmileysRevenge100 Yay!!! Congratulations! ... No, the hinges should not be too loose but it's not a problem. Any instrument of this type needs regular maintenance and cleaning. It's not uncommon to have to fix up a used instrument... I don't really do instruction videos but I will make a couple of more demonstration videos.. I'll let you know when I post them. Thanks for your comment! Good luck and have fun!!

  • Very goog entreteiner¡¡¡

  • @Funbia Thank ya, thank ya very much... I now use a couple of tricks that I have learned from your bass harmonica videos!

  • Is this a difficult instrument to play? How much does one cost?

  • @SmileysRevenge100 No. It's not really difficult to play. The notes are all blow and very clearly marked... Easy, especially for sound effects but easier than most other harmonicas to copy a melody.... This one's old and beat up and is worth anywhere from 2 to 400 but if you can find a new one, it'll probably cost 1200... A real clean pre-war model will be pretty costly as well. ... Thanks for your question. Have a good week.

  • Note that one of the rare bass harmonica solos out there is on the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album in the tune I Know There's An Answer / Hang On To Your Ego, check it out around 1:49. The bass harmonica is also featured prominently throughout the song.
