Product Description

Melody Makers are the best harps available for playing STANDARD SINGLE-NOTE MELODIES. They're great for playing COUNTRY, R&B, POP, WORLD BEAT, AFRICAN and REGGAE. This tuning makes it easier to play many songs...that can be difficult, or impossible, to play on a standard Major Diatonic...IN CROSS HARP. All of the notes that were missing on the Major Diatonic are right there on the Melody Maker! These harmonicas provide a complete major scale, in cross harp, for playing exact melody without bending. Yet, the draw notes can still be bent for that bluesy feeling! Melody Makers are designed to be played in cross harp (draw), not straight harp (blow). In cross harp, melodies can be played with an expressive, fluid style that is extremely difficult to achieve in straight harp.

This review is from: Lee Oskar Harmonica, Melody Maker Key of E (Electronics)

After many years playing at a huge Hohner 280 Chromonica, I was lured into testing a Lee Oskar after hearing one used by Henry Garza of Los Lonely Boys.

The Oskars play well, have great tuning, and a great price point. These are repairable, which makes their slightly higher cost fully justifiable.

And they sound SUPER!

Wonderful harps; recommend them for anyone wanting to make serious music with a harmonica.
