Around here jam is either a Yankee word for preserves or what you do to get your '64 Chevy pickup in reverse (bad spelling though). LOL I really don't care what it's called as long as I can have it on my biscuits or toast. We do get in jams from time to time here, and it can be quite sticky. All joking aside (Do you really believe I can stop?!) I knew better than to use the term jeeelly, but I couldn't figure a way to mispronounce "preserves" on my keyboard. I didn't do too well with jeeelly. I do like playing with the biscuits and the jam handle. That's really gravy...I mean...groovy. Dig it? Man what a flashback those words caused! That was outta sight! Far out! If I called myself Hambone, we could be Ham Biscuits. Maybe Ham Jam. RamJam...no that's taken, and I don't look sheepish. The Doughboys, and then people could poke us in our bellies to hear us chuckle like the real fake doughboy. I'd better go before Age kicks me outta here! Are tired jokes illegal? Anyway, I'm doing well on my 270, and really enjoying it. I still can't wait to get my hands on a 4 octave harmonica so I can get low for some of those great gospel songs. I love George Yonce (late great bass singer), and I've been playing along with some of his tunes. That extra octave will be what I need to get what I'm looking for on those. Until then...Thanks for the fellowship, and I'll catch you on the flip side.

Well Jim, I got mine, new old stock, for $20. I'm not worried about playing it like a seasoned pro. I'm not one of those. I do happen to be a seasoned pro trumpet man, and I've played or warned against many low quality instruments. It's not always the highest dolllar that gets the best quality, but you do have to put down a pretty penny still for fine craftsmanship. I usually play vintage instruments to get the quality, sound, and styling I prefer. But even a cheap horn is USUALLY worth $20 for the few months it will last a novice (unless it's so bad it's unplayable for a beginner). There are things I don't like about this harp, so I'll probably either learn to work on it or put up with it. Seriously though, what would you consider an acceptable quality chromatic?

Howdy new friend. Most info here will be for diatonics. Personally, I haven't played a chromatic in years, and then I really only played with them. I DID buy a Hohner Super Chromomica (I only mentioned the full name because I'm super too LOL) 270. Great instrument! I'll be working on this one as I continue with my beloved MB and LO. Hey SPD! You won't believe what I paid for this or the guitar I recently bought. The 270 is NOS with original paperwork (big deal). BTW, just relax and have fun with your new instrument.
