When I was a child, I would play the harmonica and pretend I knew what I was playing. And I said to myself, wouldn’t it be great to learn to play the harmonica today. Especially that goal that I told myself that I would learn to play Billy Joel’s harmonica portion of “Piano Man”.
I figured, it would be a good time and for my first harmonica, I figured for my entry to a blues harmonica, I would try the Aklot Blues Harmonica.
The harmonica comes with the harmonica, case and cleaning cloth.
According to Aklot, the Blues harmonica uses high-sensitivity phosphor bronze reeds, non-toxic food-grade ABS resin Comb and copper cover that can amplify sound resonance. This Blues harp has 11 screws to strengthen fixation,thicken stainless steel covers wrap the copper reed plate tightly , not easy to deform and fall apart after long-term use.
The blues harmonica features 10 holes and I spent a good day learning about the blowing through each hole, breathing in each hole and there were a plethora of harmonica song instructions, to best familiarize one to the harmonica and also playing a song.
I was able to play the harmonica portion of the popular Billy Joel song, maybe not as cool and smoothly like Billy Joel, but it was cool to play it and share it with my friends on Facebook.
I really have no complaints. It’s a well-constructed harmonica for its under $25 pricepoint and great for beginners and professionals.
While it may not look as classy as the long established Hohner harmonicas, it’s still a pretty cool Harmonica!
The Aklot Blues Harmonica is recommended!
