The Harmonica in the video is a chromatic. They have more notes and are more for virtuosos. Grab a diatonic in the Key of C from your local music store or online. Get a Lee Oskar or a Hohner Blues Harp or Marine Band. Stay away from cheap harps like the Silver Star. You should be spending about 30 to 50 bucks.

@@onthewattle which harmonica on the video is chromatic? first xb-40 is a diatonic harp but each note can be bend, second is a marine band and last one is an octave harp. Chromatic would have a button on a side and would sound different. Cheers

No Chromatics here... this is a specialty harp and cost me over a hundred !!! Yikes

My father is Harmonica legend Arthur Middleton from Aberdeen,Scotland. Your playing is at his standard. Well done. Your an amazing player

This is amazing. I play harmonica and was thinking what would Irish music sound like on harmonica. This was the first video that popped up.

Certainly most people cannot appreciate the skills and practise required to master the harmonica like this...

I really wanna take this guy camping. :)

On a G harmonica which he plays in the video, it would be from D -> E. You can retune your harmonica to paddy richter yourself easily, just be careful when fileing and use a cheap or old harmonica the first time.

@Radiator Hospital Fan Club I'm very late in responding to you but I will answer in case some other people have the same questions. B. There are loads of videos about tuning harmonicas on youtube, I recommend Andrew Zajac's videos about it - though bear in mind that he uses a lot of self developed tools. All you really need is a needle file and something to measure the pitch. C. I'm not really knowledgeable about the US market since I live in Europe, but the only harmonica manufacturer that offers out of the box paddy richter tuned harmonicas that I know of is Seydel - and their harmonicas are great. But as I mentioned in my first post it's easy to do yourself on any harmonica as long as you don't rush it.

A credit to Irish music from someone playing Irish music for 40 years. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fantastic playing. This is my new aspiration - forget the fiddle, I want to learn reels on harmonica.

Don’t think that because it’s a harmonica it’ll be easy. Just be Patient and practice, practice, practice. Oh, and take some lessons to avoid bad habits - the ones I had from being completely self taught. Had to spend the last 3 years unlearning some really ingrained bad habits. Would not want any new player to have to do what I did to become a better player. Howard Levy’s lessons are gold, no matter what style you play...

That was a gift to anyone listening. Absolutely amazing!

My jaw is on the floor. Harmonica suits these tunes perfectly, gives them the same feel as a concertina. You play skillfully and beautifully, and those transitions are absolutely mind-blowing! 11/10 man, absolute wow

That is hypnotic. I closed my eyes and felt myself being carried to a far away time and place.

I've been listening to this play for ten years, it's great🤩

Ok, that was actually F*** AWESOME!

This is exactly how I want to sound when I get a harmonica. Thanks!

I'd love to be able to play like that!!! Best harmonica video on KZread!!!

Guy, you are really awesome. Congrats. TY for this beautiful sound. Harps and irish music forever !

WOW! The Harmonica isn't an easy instrument to play, but you somehow play it as if it is very easy. You are a Michael Coleman of the Harmonica

Actually, a basic diatonic harmonica isn't that hard to play... but to play it well, like that, or some of the great blues players? That is what is really hard.

Beautiful!
