I have only been playing a harmonica a year or so, what does it mean to bend a note and how do you bent a note?

Depending on how it is used. If it is used by adults and kicked/ hit hard by ball, tubes can bend some. If kids hang on it, it can also get bent. If tubes are bent deformed too much, it can be tough to assemble/ disassemble. I usedMine for one year and it bent a little, but I was able to bend it back without a problem.

Hi, 10 hole harmonicas are diatonic scale. So, if you are playing guitar or piano in the key of C, you need to skip up 3 steps to F (D, E, F). If the piano is in A, you need a D harp. And on and on. Hope this helps.

I've seen one of these tuners used in tuning an antique reed organ, the reeds of which are essentially the same as those in harmonicas. I just opened a Hohner chromatic harmonica I have and observed the tell-tale scratches of tuning done at the factory (so a harmonica most certainly CAN be tuned) but I know I'd be nervous about attempting it myself.

I'm a Hohner harmonica player and buyer. The blues band harmonica is in the low end of Hohner harmonicas.I consider it like a toy, compared to the Better end of Hohner harmonicas the special 20's marine band.I suggest you get a few special 20's and you will thank me later!! The special 20's are both used by biginner intermediate and pros.good luck with your disition

Casio CTK-3200 has Touch Response and Pitch Bend Wheel on left side of keyboard.Touch Response - Let's you add delicate nuances to notes by varying how much pressure you apply to keyboard keys.Pitch Bend Wheel - Rotate the wheel to slide the pitch of the sound being output upwards or downwards. This effect comes in handy when reproducing the sound of ethnic instruments, etc.

A recorder is a chromatic instrument so it's not tied to a key as say an Irish whistle or harmonica. The alto's lowest note is f just above middle c so depending on the register you wish to play at it may or may not suite your needs. I play soprano, alto, tenor and bass so switch around depending on the voive we need at any given time. For general playing I find the alto the most versitile - although I truly love my tenor's rich low notes. Hope that helps.

It says in the Product Detail section right above the Product Description section that it is key of C. However, this particular harmonica is sold by My Music Life and fulfilled by Amazon. Suzuki harmonicas are wonderful. I have three of them. However, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS VENDOR. My harmonica arrived dented and scratched and not in a box. It was loose in a padded envelop. I've purchased many harmonicas and all of them have had their own individual box and were sealed in a plastic sleeve. I contacted Suzuki and was informed that ALL of their harmonicas have boxes and this one is either used or a demo or from a boxed set that was broken up. Since it had so many scratches and a dent, I think it was used or a demo. I returned the product immediately.

The Hohner 1501/7 Blues Band, 7 pack is made in China. I found that the F harmonica's reeds are a little tight for bending. However the remaining 6 harmonica keys, although not as flexible as Lee Oskar harmonicas, have reeds that bend pretty well.

No, your cards shouldn't get bent. The shuffler doesn't bend the cards to shuffle like when you shuffle them by hand

You select a template, a key, a time signature. Then you go over to the left margin and select a note (either a whole, half, quarter, etc.) Put your cursor on the line or space where you want that note and click. When you have your whole song, you can transpose it into any key. Your midi icon will play it back so you can correct mistakes. Time consuming but very easy. I love it.

It does NOT set to a certain key to tune as it just allows to tune ALL the notes in turn. You play a note, it detects what note you are trying to play and displays it along with the needle pointing straight up if you are right on or left/right if you are low/high. As you change the tone of the instrument in tuning, the needle moves so that you can get it in tune as straight up. Thus, you tune a plethora of notes as shown on a normal piano keyboard, bottom to top. You can tune A,B,C,D,E,F,G and the sharps and flats of all the notes. I've tuned pianos, violin, and guitar with it. It also will emit a sound (that you set). That way you can tune by ear to the sound.

https://m.reddit.com/comments/286hv7Check the above link out - video of someone who plugged in a violin and how exactly they tuned it to the game- like someone else said you'd have to figure out yourself how notes correlate to the tablature which will be a complication and also just a downside to the game as you won't be able to read music afterwards

Though Hohner is a German company, the harmonica itself is made in China, stamped on the bottom reed cover. If you want an inexpensive harmonica that breaks easy, buy this one. If not, buy a basic Marine Band, or Blues Harp. They are better insruments.

It can be bent, but just a little. I have the same situation. If you have to bend it a lot it won't work. Also, when I say a little, I mean a little.

Matt, It's a combinations. As you see in the picture on the right side of the instrument, you slide your thumb or fingers on what looks like a grate. As you slide them it give the impression of a harp. If you tap your fingers in various places, it sounds like single strings but I don't what string name it is. The buttons on the left side are the chords, major, minor, 7th. It also come with a Melody keyboard overlay which I haven't learned as of yet. I don't know what bend notes/chords are but I have played to chords together if they were close enough. I still have a lot to learn. It does so much. I think you'll enjoy it, too.
