what is difference between LO Diatonic and Melody maker harmonicas?

If the melody maker is like the Hohner Golden Melody, they use a more exact tuning so they are good for first position "straight harp" styles where you play more melodies as opposed to riffing. This does not mean that you can not play them in second position (cross harp for blues and rock), but they are also very good for folk and country. Although the tuning is slightly different, I have not really noticed much difference in playing, though they seem to have a more clean sound but not much different.

I assume all of these are a little different. The easiest partial to make sound is D. While there are others notes its not scalewise. More like an old bugle with open partials.

Hey - I never had any luck mixing the Digitech RP355 with harmonica. Unpredictable feedback. I recommend the EHX Deluxe Memory Boy and Holy Grail. Also look into pedals by the Lone Wolf Blues Company, particularly the Tone Plus.

Yes, Susan, the one I have is "Made in Germany," it's so stamped, and I love it as well as my Crossover which was also made in Germany. However "The Golden Melody" I still have my doubts about even though Hohner from Germany assured me that it was. If the harmonica itself is not stamped "Made in Germany," I'd stay away from it. A paper sticker to me means the sticker only is made in Germany. I recognize German quality when I see it. Bill

There are some minor differences Baroque and German fingering. You can play all accidentals with either fingering on this instrument. It is more closed related to today's flute than a toy recorder.

Yes. The in-line tuner is really great for practice and live application. It is very visible and works for all tunings. I bounce back and forth from open tunings of diff types in loud settings. Ideal for live. Love the system. Really easy. And you can click into the tuning mode with your foot, tune the guitar, then click back to being live with the effects. Really practical and very simple. The tuning meter is color-coded with little blocks that go from red to yellow to green. Green, of course, is dead on. Always accurate as well. I use harmonicas, which are the ultimate test.

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.

They are made in Germany by a division of Hohner. Hohner Is the best harmonica maker in the world the materials they are made of is of undisputed quality. Hohner has one flaw they resist moving to newer materials and mass production this is the best reason for the Piedmont harmonica They still use the bell reed plates but use plastic instead of maple chommes.

The only difference is the color combination. Piano is offered in the Platinum Series.Thanks for your inquiry.Regards,HIDEF

China. All plastic but as I said, if you're not looking for something pro, these harmonicas work

Use a C. Good harmonica for the beginner would be a special twenty by Hohner.

I have had my hands on both. For the portability I kept the Korg. The MPD had more knobs and sliders but I found I never used them in application

I have both @like both. The difference is one is stainless, the other is nickel. Love them both, can't beat this capo, either one of them.

I believe they are the same thing. Orange box that says "Progressive" in it? I think it's what you ordered. Mine came same way. See the Hohner site for more details.

I haven't played both guitars, therefore I cannot offer an educated / comparative reply. I purchased the LX1 for my 4 year old grandson because I'm hoping that he shows some interest in learning how to play as he get's a bit older. From experience, I know that trying to learn on a cheap, horrible sounding instrument isn't much fun. I've owned Martin guitars for decades and believe in their quality - but quite frankly, my reasoning behind this purchase was based mostly on personal preference. Taylor crafts beautiful, high quality instruments and I have no doubt that their Baby Taylor exemplifies this.

I have one of each. I've had a bit if feedback with the anthem if I put in as much mic as possible. To my ear, Lyric better reproduces the sound of the instrument. Maybe the anthem has a bit more bass.
