Eagles - Desperado (on Harmonica)

A little tune on a little instrument :) Was doing my dissertation and then got distracted by Youtube (as always!), then I see my harmonica lying on my desk then I thought, why not! So I made this little video of me playing the harmonica.

The one I'm playing in the video is a parallel octave harmonica in C, instead of having just one bar like the usual one, it has 2 bars and they are in parallel octave, which allows up to 6 octaves of note range. It is not a simple instrument to play, and require a lot of control, but when you play for 13 years, you kind of getting around with the instrument little by little!

Enjoy!

Great performance! I never known you know harmonica! ^^

p.s. I wanna get some infos: Is the harmonica only one tune for each? I heard from others and I couldn't try any other tunes with mine except C major... Can I buy other tunes ones in any musical shop? Thanks for answering~~

@AngelinaAnna87 thanks! I got this harmonica when i was little, from a prize draw lol usually harmonica comes in different keys, so you have individual ones for each scales (C, C＃..etc), the most common one you'll find is in C major, but if you go to places like Tomlee and ask for other harmonica in another keys, they might have them ordered from Hong Kong. Hope it helps!
