Wait for it, wait for it... Part 3
Here's Joe's response. I had it wrong... it wasn't a D Mini Harmonica!
"What I have is indeed a 5 hole harmonica in "C" tuned one octave higher than
holes 4-8 of a standard "C" diatonic. I do use it to frequently play in the
"modal" positions but 3rd position in "D" is my favorite. The 1 & 2 inhale
bends work reasonable well, 3 inhale is tougher and 4 & 5 exhale bends are
nearly impossible for me. I have always heard a rumor that Hohner made some
at special request of the Harmonicats and I do believe that I have seen them
with the Harmonicats name of the cover. Mine has "Hohner" on both covers
and was given to me by Gunter Bayer a number of years ago. I do not have
any "minis" that I can recall playing in recent times other than the above
mentioned key of "C"."
Thanks Joe!
