Hi! I´ve been seen your videos for a while and i´m playing with a band, a folks/blues/rock band, witch model would you recomend me to use? the regular Marineband, or the Special 20?

[HakanEhn]

@cantelli11

Regular MB. Or MB DeLuxe

[jack7tar]

can I play this song without adjusting hole 3 and 6?

[HakanEhn]

@jack7tar

Yes probably. But not exactly the way I play it.

[turca13]

oh! i've been looking for this like ages..

Thanks a lot!

(btw, do your name is turkish?)

[HakanEhn]

I adjusted my real name Håkan (which is hard to pronounce for all people I´ve met outside Sweden) to more international Hakan, which is very turkish as I understand. But Håkan is very swedish.

Anyway i like swedish or turkish as long as we like each other and learn from each other. Thank you Hakan. I´m in Sweden from 18. 7. til 7. 8. Can you tell me where the music is douring that time? Can i meet you somewhere?

Nice Greatings,

Wolfgang
