Tip of the Day: Harmonica Blessing #4 - Portability

David Barrett Admin's picture

What can I say... the harmonica is portable. Throw it in your shirt pocket and away you go!

In college I petitioned to have a strings class started (it was my goal to learn each instrument well enough to play at a high school level... all in order to understand and write for each instrument well). The only thing I requested was to not have to play the bass. I'm not talking a Fender P-Bass... a full-sized upright acoustic bass. I was driving a '64 Chevy Nova II Super Sport that my dad restored... a 6 cylinder... he didn't feel the boys needed a V8 :-(... and was not the size to be totin' a bass around. Well, long story short, I was wrestling a full sized concert bass in my car ever day! Love your portable harmonica... until you get a big harp case and amp of course! ;-).
