What should I do with my new harmonica?

Should I break my harmonica in gently? HOHNER recommends that you play your new harmonica softly the first few times you use it in order to accustom the reeds to your playing style and also to get to know how the instrument responds.

How often do you need to clean your harmonica?

About every three months I take them apart and spray a small amount of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol on the reed plates, combs, and covers. Then rinse the alcohol off under a slow stream of lukewarm water from the tap (don’t turn the water on full blast or hold the reed plates against the faucet).

Why does my harmonica sound weird?

Buzzing may be caused by debris, but it also may mean that the reed is out of alignment and is hitting the sides of its slot. You get a high-pitched squeal when you bend — or sometimes when you just play the note. This is caused by torsional vibration — when a reed rocks from side to side.

Do harmonicas need to be tuned?

Harmonicas can go out of tune with playing, and even new harps straight from the factory aren’t always in good tune. But you don’t have to accept what you get — you can correct out-of-tune notes. Harmonica tuning follows straightforward procedures, but it has some ins and outs that you need to know.

Is it hard to learn to play the harmonica?

Compared to other wind instruments, the harmonica is a relatively easy instrument to learn. Players that bend notes are required to change the pitch by locating their tongue and tuning the mouth to the desired pitch, which is difficult to achieve even for harmonica players that have been studying for years.
