goingdownslow Posted Friday at 19:53 Posted Friday at 19:53 In the '60s I recall seeing adverts for a harmonica, but instead of the row of holes it had three mouth pieces on. I think it was for playing 12 bar blues on, but again I might be making that up. I have never seen or heard of it since, and over the years have mentioned it but no one recalls it, until yesterday when a friend of mine described seeing the same thing. I have googled all sorts of terms but have come up with nothing. Did we both imagine it? A very rough sketch is something like this.... Quote
2pods Posted Saturday at 14:46 Posted Saturday at 14:46 I could be wrong, but it looks like the other side, where the sound/air comes out. Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago I have a Honhner Vineta. 48 holes Everywhere will tell you it plays three chords F, C, G. It also plays the root notes as bass tones (two reeds). On 'suck' you get the fifths so (I think) the chords C7, G7, D7. 99% of web sources don't realise this. Quote
Richard R Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) So, am I right in thinking that to play @Stub Mandrel's harmonica you need to learn by ear where to put your mouth (if you see what I mean!) and on the one @goingdownslow was searching for you have defined places to make it simpler? The same concept as fretless and fretted? Edited 51 minutes ago by Richard R Typo Quote
