Shop / eastrock blues harmonica mouth organ 10 hole c key
ABOUT THIS ITEM: Lucky 13 Designer BRENDAN POWER Explains…
The extended length of the Lucky 13 lends itself well to harmonica tunings that repeat every four holes, since they require extra holes to achieve the same 3 octave range as Richter does in a 10-hole harp. SOLO TUNING is the best known of these, and it is used on 99% of chromatic harmonicas sold, so many players will be familiar with it.
This tuning is excellent for playing pop melodies, and it's also great for 3rd Position Blues and Celtic music. Interestingly, it's exactly the same scale as on holes 4-7 on a standard Richter diatonic, so all harp players will instantly feel at home with it. Solo simply repeats that pattern throughout the harp.
My Lucky 13 in Solo Tuning comes in the keys of C, G, and D. It's half-valved, which gives strong, expressive blow notes as well as bendable draw notes on the odd-numbered holes. I chose the popular Orchestra variant of Solo Tuning, where the scale starts a fifth below the tonic note.
