Hi David,

I want to get into TB Ex 5, Blues for Paul deLay, but as yet I don't have a Low F harp. I've got the other 5 (being G, A, Bb, C, D) in the Hohner Blues Harp MS series, which I've been happy with.

But to my surprise when I went to the music store today, I learned they don't make the Blues Harp in Low F. Is that right?

Can you recommend a harmonica that can be bought in Low F? Preferrably as similar as possible to the Blues Harp. Do I need the Thunderbird if I want to stay with Hohner or are there other options?

ThanksJeremy

Hello Jeremy. There are two

Hello Jeremy. There are two models to choose from... the Thunderbird F (not Low-F, it's already low) or Rocket (I'm not sure if this new low key is available in the states yet). Have fun with the Low-F, I use that key a lot.
