Harmonicas/Mouth Harps

[metBANS]

Yea, so I've decided to get into Harmonica, for various reasons. And I was wondering how many players are out here.

What I'm really looking for is tips on playing, learning, and what kinda harp you use. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get a Hohner Special 20 in Bb, and maybe 2 more, in various keys I haven't decided about yet.

So, topic started. Discuss.

I play harmonica, but I have no real knowledge of it. I just play and make up stuff....Oh, dont get a hohner bluesharp.

Harmonicas are also called "Mouth Organs"










"Snikers"

I could always just put my organ in your mouth.

I play harmonica. I learned blues harp techniqes from a book and a website - for anyone who cares, http://www.angelfire.com/tx/myquill/ is a great website; called the Diatonic Harmonica Reference and its got tons of stuff. Helped me with my bends a lot. I have five at the moment (G,A,C,D,F). Right now I'm playing them in the rack mostly since I'm getting really into Dylan and Young.
Oh and my favorite name for harmonica is "Mississippi Sax"
