[Harp-L] RE: Hering 1923 Vintage Harps

["Riccardo Grosso" <rick.grosso82@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there,
I've play and retuned some Hering 1923. They are kind of strange. Let me
tell you: they sound cool right out of the box BUT (a big BUT) they are not
so confortable to play and they don't last long. I've found a out of tune 4
draw after few weeks of practice and live playing. I retuned it and the reed
gone out of tune immediately. They are not the trustable instrument I like
to have in my harmonica case. 

As far as I've played almost everything you can find on the market today I
think I can say Hering ain't one of my favourite harmonicas. I better like
Hohner and I LOVE Seydel. SEYDEL are the best, no kidding here. 

Keep on harping!

For my 2 cents, the 1923 isn't a bad harmonica.  It is pretty and has good
features.  However, they don't seem to like me.  Of all of the harmonica
models I have ever tried, they have died on me the fastest.  Most harmonicas
last at least a year for me.  Many last for many years.  These die within a
couple of months, and I have never quite resolved why.

Being a bluegrass player (melody and position/mode oriented), I was never
that fond of the tuning either (the flat 5), but I wanted to give it a fair
trial anyway.  To me, the tuning with the flat 5 hole was stronger (worse)
than any of my 1970's Marine Bands ever were.  The 1923 was the first
harmonica I had ever played that sounded that "out" to me right out of the
box (by design).  However, many people really like it and they loved the
instrument as a whole.  It is not a bad harmonica.  It just isn't one that I
need to be playing.

Some players are quick to dismiss music theory, when the answers they seek
would be found by understanding it. I have a couple of students who dread
the mention of circle of fifths, but they are beginning to appreciate what
it represents.

Michael has done a thorough job of teaching this key (pun) to successful
harp playing. Watch it more than once. Take notes.

He even puts the letters on-screen so you can follow his sequence...you
know, like a TV magician who predicts the startling conclusion, no matter
where you began on your television.
