I think G means that if you blow on hole 4 you'll get a G note.

If I'm right, try this......

blow hole 4
suck hole 4
blow hole 5
suck hole 5
blow hole 6
suck hole 6
suck hole 6
blow hole 7

You should get a major scale. It will sound like doh, ray, me, fa, soh, la.......

Yup - it's a chromatic harp - you use the slidey thing to get the sharp and flat notes, unlike a diachromatic 10 hole harp, where you need to 'bend' the reeds to get the forementioned notes.

Got a couple upstairs! Wouldn't have thought they'd be worth much 2nd hand but the last time I looked, they were about £50 new (prolly more now....).

why not learn to play it? Or can you already?

Chromatic ones are harder to play - but more versatile

sound great when played well - think stevie wonder

Or Howling Wolf, or Sonny Terry and Browning McGhee (sp?!).

my brother is the lead singer of 'Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes'. They are very heavily harmonica biased blues as Paul Lamb is one of the best in the business.

Check this out if you like your swing type blues!
