Harp set
David,
I’m currently working on LOA3 and hope to finish it by summers end. I have a set of Sp20s in G, A and C. Will I need any new keys in the near future, say for LOA4 or LOA5? Also, what would constitute a full set for a non performer? Will I need or should I get any other keys?
Thenls in advance,
Ace
Now that you mention it, how can I tell the key that a song is performed in? Is there a lesson on this in your site?
There is. Go to https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/ryan_walker and watch...

Thanks, that was quick.
Hello Ace. It's not until L6 and L7 that you'll need new keys. You'll need a Bb (B-flat) and Low-F. A standard set is G, A, Bb, C, D, and F (low or standard). If you don't mind spending a little bit of money on your hobby, get the harps now, this way you're more likely to have the correct key of harmonica available to you when jamming to the radio or when trying to copy licks from your favorite harmonica player's recordings.
