    Hello, sir. I am a diatomic harmonica player. I started to play diatomic harmonica 2 years ago. My first harmonica was tremolo harmonica. I had just ordered a chromatic harmonica. I heard that chromatic harmonica has more vary keys in same harp than others kind of harmonica. Thank you for sharing knowledge about harmonica. 😀🙏

    You rightly showed Diatonics their place. I've just bought a 24-hole chromatic harmonica, the cheapest available here in Karachi. Once I have mastered the basics I'll move to a 12-hole chromatic.

    Why is it called a diatonic? Di meaning 2{two} chromatic I understand. As I can play All notes in any key provided I start with right note representing the key

    • @kazhilly
      @kazhilly  Před 8 měsíci

      Diatonic means only the main notes in any key: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do,
      And the notes “in between”, the chromatic notes, are missing. Bagpipes are Diatonic instruments, for that same reason.

    Hi Hilvert! Thanks for posting this! I played saxophone for 15 years, several of them professionally, and put my horn down years ago due to career/motherhood, etc. I have recently been thinking of playing harmonica since it would be nice to just pick it up and practice on short breaks, and hopefully when I go backpacking. You mentioned the chromatic is better for those who haven't played an instrument before. Would you also suggest it for someone with considerable music background? Or will I make faster progress with a diatonic?

    • @kazhilly
      @kazhilly  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Ashley, Thank you for your comment here. The chromatic harmonica is an Excellent instrument Exactly in your situation, and Oh yes, progress will be much faster for someone like you with a professional background. A harmonica is of course Not exactly a saxophone, and I guess it will take a bit of getting used to where the sound is concerned. But when you get used to the sound, it will be a Great discovery.
      Thanks again for commenting.

      Hi Ashley, I would still get a decent diatonic in C.
      The harmonica is an instrument that is very easy to start but a lifetime of learning.

  • @Subhabrata
    @Subhabrata Před rokem

    Dear Sir, I beg to differ. A diatonic harmonica got all the notes, including all sharps and flats. We can play them by bending whole notes. Its a complete music instrument like any other. You may refer to diatonic harmonica note layout widely available on Google.

    • @kazhilly
      @kazhilly  Před rokem

      Hi Subhabrata, if you listen to the video carefully, I have mentioned that there are players who can get all of the notes, and I said that I am not one of those people. If you can play the whole chromatic scale on a diatonic, Good for you, but I just can’t do it.
      Of course we can differ, No problem at all. With my respect.

    So that would mean I would not be able to play the scale of G on a diatonic harmonica, because the F# is the missing note😊

    • @kazhilly
      @kazhilly  Před 8 měsíci

      Basically, yes. But the way I see it is this: if you want to play in the scale of G, you would need a diatonic harmonica in the scale of G.

      I understand, i play the diatonic- Dylan, blues, folk, etc
      I am fascinated with the chromatic and would like to learn as I’ve been practicing my scale -starting out with the key of D where I need to push the button twice. For me it is like learning the piano with my mouth. Something i think would be a lot of fun due to my most recent stroke, my left are has been affected
      I can still play music
      I will start watching your videos and I appreciate you

      The Diatonic i can blow and pull chords and get away with alot
      Chromatic is individual notes can provide more “feeling”
