Don't be confused. This is not a standard tuned diatonic
and it is not what we recommend for beginners. This is a
special purpose harmonica. The "Melody Maker" tuned
diatonic is made specifically to be played in the 2nd
Position and is used for songs where a complete major
scale is available while playing in the 2nd Position. It
can be a bit confusing, but the key of the harmonica is
the key for the 2nd Position playing.
Typically, the key
of the harmonica is the same as the 1st Position playing,
but not in this case (same as the Lee Oskar "Natural Minor"
). If you would like to play to a song that is in the
key of "A" and use the 2nd Position, you would need to
buy the key of "A" "Melody Maker" and stick with only
your 2nd Position riffs. This is a great harmonica for
playing melodies in the 2nd Position and you can take
advantage of the bending capabilities on the low draw
notes.
Be sure to use the "Choose Key:" pull-down menu to select your key. The default key of "C"
is good if
you are just starting out. After "C", other good "Melody Maker" keys
include: "A", "D", "E", and "G". Return to this page to add additional
keys to your order.
