how does this work with harmonicas?

Pretty well, all things considered. I sometimes use a delay box, sometimes not. I would probably replace it with the same if I somehow lost it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "compatible" since the tuner simply works by displaying the nearest (single) note played along with the frequency in Hz with the "needle" line showing whether the note played is sharp or flat with respect to that. I had to look up what a "Chromatic C harmonica" is, but since it plays a chromatic scale, then yes, the display will show an appropriate name for the note (e.g. 466 Hz would show "A#" ). If you are wondering about the range of the tuner, I'm pretty sure that it would be fine for any harmonica. The lowest string of a cello (two octaves below middle C) was too low for it, but I doubt a harmonica would play notes that low.

I put my entire harmonica collection in this bandoleer and was not disappointed. I had to modify three of the holders to accommodate my larger harmonicas, but who hasn't had this problem. The biggest problem that I've had is when I ride my motorcycle at high speeds the wind causes all my harmonicas to play a very unpleasantly loud sound, much like an air horn on a freight train. If you are planning any high speed activities with this bandoleer, I would suggest earplugs.

The person who recommended this gel is not a harmonica player, but is a salesman who talks for a living. He has used it for years and it really helps him with talk related dry mouth, so I'm sure it will help with harmonica playing related dry mouth. Any dry mouth causes can benefit from this product. It may not be a cure, but it does provide some comfort. I buy this for my father who suffers from medicine induced dry mouth.

sorry I would like to help but I do not play the harmonica, but it seems to moisten my mouth in a very pleasant way. I have trouble speaking sometimes my mouth gets so dry ,

I I don't want to say that it couldn't "work" for a child- I don't know the age, and humans beings are amazing creatures, and if your child is serious about playing guitar and harmonica at the same time, they''ll make it work- even if it takes placing a towel on neck or what have you. It's been a solid holder for me, and I'd recommend it. Don't know if that helps, but my main point is that musicians will find a way to make music.

It is used on regular auto harps so you might be able to tell from that description. It is a little wrench-type device used on auto harps so if the posts that hold the strings are the same size then it should work. Read the description of the tuner carefully for clues that might help you decide.

That's how I use it. Works great. As good as a Korg, and more stable and durable.

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.

Absoluely no. There is another model , always made by Hohner , That's quite perferct for chromatic models. This is ONLY for the DIATONIC .and it is much batter made and stronger, exactely as you need if you play with a chromatic harp

I don't see why this wouldn't work for pianos, because it's strength well exceeds the 33,000 psi pressure that is put on the piano harp itself. I am a piano technician and I think i will try this to save money. I read the specs and they match and exceed the same wire bought at higher prices calling themselves "piano/music wire". It's all made pretty much the same, the only difference would be the carbon and strength amounts. This one seems to be like it will work just fine. I will try it and update later.

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

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

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 don't exactly know, because I have only the hog 20 amp, and it sounds very good, but I don't have the hog 30.I suppose that it depends with which instrument you wanna play, because I play the harmonica through the pignose hog 20, but if you play Guitar obviously the things are different.

I use mine on guitars and a 5 string banjo which tune to different notes than a guitar. I haven't tried it on other instruments but it should work just fine so long as you are within its upper and lower frequency limits. For example it might not read the highest piano key or the lowest but within its range it would do just fine. It works by picking up vibrations from whatever it is clamped on. It, of course, has no idea where the vibrations come from just that there are vibrations and it will tell you what note they are and how far off you are from the nearest musical note.

I bought the Yamaha Piano Style Sustain Pedal. It plugs into the back of the keyboard and works just like the pedal on a regular piano. It's heavy, does not move while using it, and I'm extremely happy with it.
