How is the zither different from the lap harp?
459840
I'm no pro, but it looks like most zithers are more complex and lean more toward the autograph, without the buttons and vary in their more advanced features. This lap harp is much more basic and could be for casual use, or beginner.

A zither has a portion of strings with frets while the lap harp has only strings. The zither has a lot more strings as well.

Hard for me to say since I don't play the harp, it may be too low. Also, it could wobble a bit with arm movement. Certainly it is portable and pretty comfortable. Hope that is helpful.

The best way to find all the differences is to go to Yamaha's site and download the user manual. It is for both models and you will see the features that one has versus the other.

The Rocket and Classic 20 are under Hohner's Progressive line, same harp just a different classification.

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.

I don't know the difference, but i have been very pleased with this stand. Quite strong and holds a large music book. Easy to fold and carry in it's bag.

I do not have that particular model. I have a soprano Oscar Schmidt uke and it is made of solid wood. The tone quality is better than a Martin uke I owned costing many times more. The fit and finish of the instrument is excellent. A surprising value.

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

I don't know if there is any difference from a musical standpoint. The finish is different (312 is a rosewood finish and 314 is an ebony finish). Other than that, I believe they are the same.However, I will say that they Yamaha alto recorder gives a nice sound.

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.

As far as I know the only difference is the color. The black one might have more sparkle in the paint, but I do not believe there is any difference in the operation or sound of the instrument.

Just like an acoustic/electric guitar, when unplugged the acoustic characteristics of the instrument are the sole source of sound. When plugged in, the acoustic properties are the same as when unplugged, but would easily be overrun by the amplified sound. However, to the player, depending on where you are relative to the speakers, the "acoustic" sound would still be heard. The EQ has four bands (low, med, high, presence) that naturally only come into play when playing through an amplifier. The fine tuning feature was part of the reason I bought this harp, but in reality I rarely use it.

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

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.

Hohner makes two models of this 1" harmonica. The "Little Lady" is a more precision made harmonica and costs about three times as much as the other model stamped with just the Hohner name on the covers. There is no tell-tale way of knowing if both are made in Germany but I would be almost positive the cheaper model is made in China.

I was surprised, but no there is no difference. My full size trumpet has the same loudness of this one

I cannot tell you right now, but I know for fact that my harp is NOT 41" long...it is less than 24" long and about 12" or so wide. I played it yesterday for a show, but cannot get to it right now to measure exactly. Hope this helps.
