My guitar teacher suggested I learn to play harmonica since I am playing a lot of Neil Young tunes. I wasn't sure, because I tried about 10 years ago and couldn't figure it out. Then, my wife mentioned that she thought playing the harmonica is hot. Smash-cut to me clicking the Place Order button on Amazon. This harmonica sounds great and is the same model Neil plays on Heart of Gold. Thanks to the magic of YouTube, there are now plenty of instructional for how to get started playing. I got the basics the first day, and the harp sounds really nice and loud!! Now I just need a harp brace and a fringe leather jacket. Thanks, Amazon!!!
