Diatonic Harmonicas from Hohner

The reeds of diatonic harmonicas produce the notes of the scale to which they are tuned. For example, a diatonic harmonica tuned to the key of C would produce the natural notes of the C scale without sharps and flats (picture the white keys on a piano, without the black keys). Each hole has two reeds; one plays when breath is exhaled (blow) and the other when inhaled (draw). The individual reeds are each tuned to play a different note on the scale. Blues, rock, country, jazz; whatever the occasion, there is a pretty good chance that the soulful sound you'll hear is that of the diatonic harmonica, also called the blues harp. For self teaching the diatonic is probably best and certainly easiest of all harmonicas to learn.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! Health and sanitary regulations prohibit the exchange or return for credit of any mouth blown instrument. If the instrument you purchased is found to contain any defects in materials or workmanship, it must be returned, by the purchaser, to the manufacturer for adjustment.
