One of the informative introductory videos on chromatic instruments I have seen - production is also beautiful, thank you for the comparative demo too!

4:34 You are hiding the ancient art of giving without pushing to receive material goods for your work.
But by the universal law of giving and receiving, you'll be given whatever you deserve and when the time comes 🙂👍

Great revival of this channel after more than a decade, and what a treat to see Cy Leo and the other talented players - great inspiration to anyone with a harmonica! Cheers

[@williecheng7430]

Thank you for this great lesson, l am totally new in harmonica. What are the harmonica brand model you can recommend that l can play for a longer time in a mid price from USD 50 to USD 100?

For a beginner, what type of harmonic should begin with ? I don’t know what to buy

[@musicjcaldeira]

Hey, great video. I already play blues harmonica but sometimes there are solos needed in other Keys so a chromatic harmonica makes so much more sense. Which one do you recomend to a beginner like me?

[@eloytx]

Phennomenal to find cultural knowledge about this instrument. Thanks a lot!

That wooden silver
Chromatic
It sounds the best
Who makes that?

[@Capt1caveman]

I am used to playing diatonics, and have bought a Hohner Chrometta 10. Is there a big difference with a 12 hole, or can I play along with 12 hole harps?

[@michaeldean9338]

Thank you, Cy. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very informative and detail. Actually, thus far the most comprehensive I've viewed to date. Thanks so much, sir.

You're welcome. I was happy to do it for you.

I've also seen 24 hole chromatics. Are they less common? What's the difference?

[@Ruko1337]

the only 24 hole chromatic I have ever seen looked pretty bad. Usually you will find 10, 12, 14 or 16 hole chromatics. Tremolo Harmonicas on the other hand often have 24 holes. afaik there are also tremolos with a slider. If you consider getting a chromatic, I would recommend a 12 or 16 hole. I currently have a QiMei 16 hole with works well for beginners imo and is pretty cheap.

@@Ruko1337 hey, I'm thinking of buying a swan sw1040 is that ok for beginners?

[@Ruko1337]

@@syedkahar4679 I myself havent played a SW1040 yet, but there is a youtube channel that demonstrates how impressive it can sound in the right hands. So take a listen ua-cam.com/channels/TCT55mSmjWaTz0jyCbiBhA.html generally I would say it is a decent option if the budget is tight. Have fun on your harmonica journey
