Incredible For Playing Melodies In 2nd Position (cross harp). Melody Makers are the best harps available for playing standard, single-note melodies. They're great for playing COUNTRY, R&B, POP, WORLD BEAT, AFRICAN and REGGAE.; This tuning makes it easier to play many songs..that can be difficult, or impossible, to play on a standard Major Diatonic..in 2nd Position (cross harp).; All of the notes that were missing on the Major Diatonic are right there on the Melody Maker!; These harmonicas provide a complete major scale, in cross harp, for playing exact melody without bending.; Yet, the draw notes can still be bent for that bluesy feeling!; Melody Makers are designed to be played in 2nd Position (Draw), not 1st Position(Blow). In 2nd Position, melodies can be played with an expressive, fluid style that is extremely difficult to achieve in 1st Position. Melody Maker; 1 Standard Tuning & 3 Altered Tunings Color-Coded for Easy Identification; 10 Hole Altered tunings sound very different from standard tuning which is the traditional blues/rock/country tuning. Certain reeds have been changed to create each of the altered tunings and this provides different sounds and different scales. Altered tunings make it easy to play many different kinds of music and can help to expand musical horizons. Owning a few keys of altered tunings is like adding new colors of paint to a player's musical palette. They are fun to play!
