Re: [Harp-L] 1) Best starting key? 2) Which keys to buy first? 3) Learning order?

 I recommend "C" to start, with "A" as the second one to buy. Followed by "D", "F" (high), and then Bb.

As the student progresses, I suggest they get a high "G" and a low "G" - practicing all their techniques for creating notes through bending techniques with a high and low pitched harmonica in order to work the challenges out at extreme ranges. (If you can go loser than low "G", that's great, too.)

1) What is the best harp key for a beginner to start with? Most easy
to play?

2) Once you are ready to buy a 2nd, 3rd, etc harp... what keys would
you suggest... say if you were only going to buy 5 to 7 harps to begin
with?

3) Once you have your first 5 to 7 harps... what order would be the
most easy to learn them?

Thanks,
