  • Hello. I bought a set of 10 Huang Silvertone deluxe harps... Which tune should I start to practice with, and what kind of practice, do you have some link or something... I also have a Hohner Blues Harp in E ... It's my first harp and I already got into it a bit, but I don't know where my practice should start... So if u could give me some tips I'd be thankful... Greetings from Bosnia!

  • @Dexstasy - There are many opinions on this..... I would recommend asking this question on the Modern Blues Harmonica forum and see what kind of answers you get. As for me, I hope to have some instructional materials available soon. I started playing gospel tunes, and learned a lot from listening to players like Buddy Greene and Terry McMillan.

  • Damn! You play brilliantly!  Your Huangs sound great to me. Have to look into getting one.

  • @raindog951 - Thanks! With Huang, it really is a gamble, as sometimes they play good, and sometimes not so good. Good luck!

  • Yes, Cham Ber did design the Golden Melody for Hohner. If you check you will find that Hohner is 90% owned by a company in Taiwan R.O.C. very few of their instruments are actually manufactured in Germany anymore, even so, the parts were probably made in China. About 70% of the harmonicas today are made in the Shanghai National Harmonica Factories 1 & 2 including Huang. Products in China are made to specifications for companies, good specs, good product, bad specs, well you get it!

  • @tinfeet Some of the cheaper Hohner models are made in China, but the Handmade classic models are all still made in Germany. Confirmed this with Hohner and with Steve Baker this year at SPAH. Huang harmonicas are inconsistent, but the one in this video was set up from the factory. This video will probably be deleted soon, as I have changed my opinion on Huangs since the time that this video was posted. They also seem to be becoming obsolete.

  • My first harp was a Huang Star Performer in the key of D.

    I love it, it's right next to me now XD

  • Outstanding..I believe Huang makes Hohner for them in their factory ..may be wrong on this one. Fermata music carries the line of Huang harps, they are in the carolinas someplace..Thanks for the video
