  • Chris plays on his Suzuki chromatic harmonica SCX-64,16 Holes, 64 notes, in key of C, in several octaves a version of the classical piece "ODE TO JOY", composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. I like several pieces of Beethoven very much, especially this piece, from the 9th symphony. This song is SPECIALLY DEDICATED to my granddaughter "BRITT", because she brings so much joy and fun in our lives!!

      @@chrismayka Thank you for responding! I watched your other videos and loved them. I like this one the best as it has no background music and your playing stands out so beautifully. It showcases the ethereal quality of the harmonica resonance in the air.
      If you take requests, I would love to hear “Ochi Chornya” (Dark Eyes). My father used to sing it to my daughter who has very dark brown eyes. Despite the lyrics of the song, it makes me think of the treasured bond between grandfathers and grandchildren.
      I would love to hear something Dutch; something that every Nederlander would say, “Natuurlijk!” when asked if they knew it.
      Dank U wel!

    Dear friend Mark,
    I hope you are well, it's always good to hear from you!!
    Thanks for listening to my song "Ode To Joy" from the great composer Beethoven.
    This song is one of my first uploaded songs on UA-cam, I played the song on my lovely chromatic Suzuki SCX-64, 16 holes, 4 octaves, a wonderful chromatic!
    Thanks for your very kind comment and compliment, it was a pleasure for me to play the song for all my friends all over the world.
    Best wishes from your friend Chris.

    Dank voor het luisteren naar mijn song "Ode to Joy" een heel mooie compositie van Beethoven, die ik met heel veel plezier a cappella speelde, ook dank voor je kompliment, dat motiveert ons weer verder te gaan met de volgende nieuwe song : THEME FROM THE GODFATHER.
    Ja, ik ben een echte Hollander en ben daar nog trots op ook haha.

    Beste Bram,
    Dank voor je complimenten, Ode to Yoy was 1 van de eerst geuploade songs zonder begeleidende achtergrondmuziek.
    Ik speel nu 3 jaar chromatische mondharmonica.
    De Suzuki SCX-64 is een perfekte chromatische mondharmonica, een goed glijdend mondstuk en de luchtdichtheid is redelijk, dit is wel erg belangrijk.
    De Suzuki SC-56 en SC-64 hebben een betere luchtdichtheid en een nog beter mondstuk, is erg belangrijk, maar zijn veel duurder.
    Hartelijke groeten van Chris

    Hello,
    Thanks for visiting my channel chrismayka.
    I bought this Suzuki chromatic harmonica SC-64 at Harry's trading in The Netherlands.
    I live in Holland you know, these harps are magnificent, they have a very good airtightness and the mouthpiece is sliding very good between the lips, all these things are very important !!!
    I play on the SC-56 - 14 holes - too, both types are very expensive, because it are professional models.
    Have a very nice day.

    Hello,
    Thank you very much for listening to my song Ode To Joy.
    The Suzuki's scx are a very good choice, a very natural sound, a good airtightness of the mouthpiece and a very good sliding mouthpiece between the lips, very important.
    The choice between 56 or 64 is very personal, if you buy the 56 you have less lower notes and you have more higher notes you will never play, if you choose the 64 you have more lower notes and less higher, with 64 notes you can play all music.
    Regards Chris.
