New Contrabass....

Harmonica Day! Wow this thing is weird!

It's huge! As long as my forearm + fist! And it's blow only, no "in" notes.

And the holes are arranged like a piano's - makes it easier for me! (Can't really play a normal harmonica yet).

Never heard of such a thing before. What a great sound!

I've blown big woodwinds for decades, so I know something about air support - this take a lot of wind! Goes down to C1, about 64hz.

It's a good bass sound for recording. Like, I would record one note at a time and piece it together in a DAW, or trigger it or something. I don't think I would want to put in the time to become a competent player, that would be like training for a triathlon.

I kinda need to be training for that triathalon anyway...

Is this what was use with the Sanford and Son theme? Listen to the entrance at about 0:04


I remember similar sounds during episodes of Green Acres as well. No telling what instrument was used though.

Wow, I've never heard of a harmonica that didn't work both ways! Bizarre...
But sounds like a cool instrument.

Oh yeah, the ascending "duh duh duh duh duh" line sounds like it might be one, cool! The other harmonica is a normal one, you can hear the stereotypical "push/pull" sounds. But that low one... (edit - just checked, that riff is playable on this, right about the middle of the range, perfect!)

And.... MORE COWBELL! hehe

0:07 sounds like the time I busted a 2AM Del Taco drive-thru trip

 

[Michedelic]

Never heard of such a thing before. What a great sound!

It’s all over this tune...

 

[skycruiser]
