The diatonic harmonica, also known as blues harp, offers simple major scales and chords. Special playing techniques like bendings and overbends extend the tonal range. Its sound is typical for blues, folk, and country, but also pop and rock.
The harmonica has a long tradition not just in folk and blues, but also in popular culture. It is used in all genres, from rock and pop to classical music and jazz.
The harmonica is relatively easy to learn, and quickly opens a broad variety of options to the player. Another great advantage is its size: You can easily carry it around in your pocket, making it the perfect companion for travelling.
