Hi Dennis, great to finally have some chromatic lessons for blues harmonica. You teach very well.
I was wondering if you had a preference for a 12 hole vs a 16 hole when playing with a C?
I do enjoy the smaller size of the 12 hole but love that lower octave on the 16 hole but sometimes find it easy to get lost on it if I'm not carefully. And when I play the 12 hole I kinda miss those lower notes.
And is having a few different keys chromatic worth it? Or do you stick with a C and are happy with that?
I like the low octacve as well, but for amplified playing, it is easier to use a 12 hole to manipulate the tone as much as possible...and I have several different keys I use, because the chords are limited on the chromatic in different positions.
