Greetings Friends! I hope you’re feeling comfortable (enough) with your G and C chords in the work song "Pay Me My Money Down." They certainly don’t have to be perfect right now...

Greetings Friends and Neighbors around the world! Welcome to guitar lesson #1.We’ll be exploring the possibilities for what I like to call Social Music - the music that we make...

Hello Everyone, I just want to say thanks for joining me this last year on Sonic Junctiion and I look forward to seeing you in 2017! Tell all your friends about us and see you next...

Hi Matthew, Thanks, I don't really do anything I would consider Wes Style but i am certainly an admirerer of his playing. Duke 

Hi Rand, I'm not sure what you mean by spell it out for you? Could you explain you question in more detail?  Duke

Hey, thanks a lot, Duke! Your ears are certainly as sharp as ever! I recently watched a documentary about Bloomfield and have been listening to some of his stuff. I wasn't...

The old harps you hear on the older recordings were mostly all tuned closer to "Just" intonation, which means the notes were tuned more to the chord, which has the 3 draw and 5...

Hi Bruce, Sounds great, good playing, Your sound hear reminds me of Mike Bloomfield in his Les Paul period. good work! Duke

Thanks so much for your time I'll go cheep. the delux Is almost double.  both well  sound  close

Go cheap.

I was getting ready to order and came across the marine band delux. or should Iget the other one  last question

I don't think you can get reed plates for them, but it certainly makes it easier to clean and tune them if you want to take care of your harps.

The deluxe one with the screws do they have reed plates that you change

Hey Duke! I found this great video of T-Bone Walker doing "Don't Throw Your Love On Me So Strong" and wanted to share it with you and everyone. Hope you liked my version! Thanks...

The deluxe one with the screws do they have reed plates that you change

I prefer the Crossover myself, and the Deluxe is pretty much out of production now anyway, but you can find them still at some places. Keep in mind the main difference between the...

thanks for answering. one question is the marine band delux a better harp it has screws, so can you change the reed plates and would have better sound to it

No

One question i'm checking the marine band delux it has screws on the side but almost double the price. Is there much defference the tone of the harmonica.

That is likely due to the fact it is a lower key harp (G is pretty low, and this means the reed is longer/heavier) and the cover plates on Golden Melody harps are set up maybe just...

thanks for answering. one question is the marine band delux a better harp it has screws, so can you change the reed plates and would have better sound to it

Hi Dennis, I play on a golden melody and I have a question about the first all draw, With G harp, the reed hits the cover plate if I don't draw very softly. So when I play, I hear...

Please keep in mind that to some extent "better" is relative, so I can just give you my opinion...but I can say personally I prefer Hohner Marine Band style harps like the Marine...

I've been playing with Lee Oskar. And what would be a better harmonica? thanks

I always have backups.

The Crossover is a deluxe version of the Marine Band. It's a great harp. It has a sealed bamboo wood comb which is more airtight and water resistant than the standard pearwood comb...

Thank you. Do you always have an extra with you when you play? I'm going to order someday  

There is a very slight difference in the tuning, and the wood in the comb of the Crossover is bamboo as opposed to pear wood in a standard Marine Band. The Crossover is more...

what's the difference in the marine band and marine cross over

Hi Boyd - I play Hohner Marine Band harmonicas. It's just a matter of personal preference. A lot of people use Lee Oskar harmonicas and are very happy with them. My feeling was, if...
