No clues, ya gotta use your ears only and it really isn't easy as I'm finding out. Everyone gets the 280 right though-so there's at least one clue. Thanks for posting, feel free to guess again if you'd like!

I did not think I would love the CX sound so much. Now I just need several hundred dollars, and, of course, I need the CX12 Jazz harmonica. Great sounds, fantastic harps all.
@HardGrader12 жыл бұрын
My ear isn't sharp enough to tell them apart. But maybe there's a clue in the final bars. The harps appear in this order at the very end: 280 CBH Chromonica CX12 Sirius (it's only there for about 1 frame!) 270 That's my bet.

In all honesty, much as I really enjoy your playing - they all sound very 'scratchy' through my speakers - which aren't set up well...so it's very difficult to really hear the individual chromatics. LOT of fun, though. I quite enjoyed trying to narrow it down. Glad I got at least one right, lol. ;) I still might try again.

Instrument range could be a clue. Chromonica 1, a 10-hole, could have played C. So these are possibilities: A - 280 B - Sirius C - Chromonica 1 D - 270 E - CBH F - CX12 or A - 280 B - CBH C - Chromonica 1 D - 270 E - Sirius F - CX12 or A - 280 B - 270 C - Chromonica 1 D - CX12 E - Sirius F - CBH

Sirius wins on this one! Full, round sound. When compared to the others, the others sound squeaky or squaky, and muffled. Not the Sirius...it is full and rich sounding, and I might add a tad "darker." Delicious!

So for those who haven't seen it: A - 280 B - 270 C - Chromonica 1 D - CX12 E - CBH F - Sirius Collective wisdom might also support: A - 280 B - 270 C - Chromonica 1 D - Sirius E - CBH F - CX12 or A - 280 B - CBH C - 270 D - CX12 E - Chromonica 1 F - Sirius

Well! I have been playing the harmonica for about 40 years but after listening to this, I am just so overwhelmed. What beautiful fluidity of the notes. I wonder how you get each note to sound so hollow (is it all in the way you cup your hand, or so you use your mouth as well?). My colleague was presented a Super Chromonica 270 Deluxe, but isn't quite sure what to do with it, so he lent it to me to figure out. I love the blues and know a bit of note bending. I have a Hohner Special 20 Marine Band blues harp in A, and so badly want to be able to play blues on it, especially for some of the rock classics like Roadhouse Blues by the Doors, as I am a guitarist and a singer as well. Please do give me some tips on how to do it right or guide me to good videos which can help me on my mission. And once again, thanks for giving me a great listening experience. You rock, you really do!
@curleyteeth8 жыл бұрын
Hi Paul.You are better off using a harp for Roadhouse Blues.That was what was used for that track.The chromatic harmonica takes a lot more practice to play proper blues on.Most of the old blues players like Little Walter and George Smith played the 16 holed Hohner 64 chromatics with not so much emphasis on the button.They are usually not as easy to bend the notes on, although there are great players out there who obviously can.Stick with your special 20 in A for the blues for now and listen to some of the great chromatic players and just go on from there.This is only my humble advice and I would never class myself as an expert.Just very experienced.Jim.Liverpool.

curleyteeth - I totally agree. I use my diatonics for Blues and Rock, & my chromatic for Jazz. And the funny being, all the major scales (A to G) for a chromatic harmonica only go up to about the eighth hole! And like a momo, I bought a 16 hole chromatic. I do love it though. Plays like a dream and sings like angels.

Just like comparing cameras and trumpets and anything else. It's far more the player that determines the quality of the sound. I guess we should play more and stop lusting over what else you could buy/collect until we are much better players.
