An diatonic instrument is designed to play in only one musical key. You need one for each different musical key you want to play in. An instrument that can play a possible key to a chromatic instrument. The diatonic harmonica was first mass produced in 1857 by Matthias Hohner. In 1858 he began shipping them to America. She were designed to play German and European folk music. They adapted well to the American folk and country music. The harmonica that I learned to play was the Hohner Marine Band. It was the base ten hole diatonic harmonica that is sold in that form from 1920.
The basic ten hole diatonic harmonica is designed to play simple songs majeur. The harmony of these numbers is based on the major tonic and dominant seventh chord of a large scale. Since these are built on the first and fifth note of the large scale they are often called with Roman numerals as the I and V7 chords. Blues harmony is different. The two most important agreements are based on the first and the fourth note of the large scale. In Roman numerals would an IV and I agree. These two chords are dominant seventh. Let us use the C major scale to help explain.
The musical tones are a natural, b, c, d, e, f, and g. If you start on the note c, you c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c. This gives you the do, re, me, FA, ja, la, ti, do a large scale. Start at one Note and other sharps or flats you have to make a large scale depends on what note you start on. In the key of C major, the I and V7 chords are C and G7. Suppose we want to play blues the G-major key. The extensive notes are g, a, b, c, d, e, f sharp, g The I and IV chords would G-7 or G and C or C7 for blues. The fifth note of the C and G-scale is four to that C. So you can see that if we chords for a simple song in the key of C major, and reverse play, using the V-belt for the I and I to IV, we have Blues in G major.
Now we know what the notes in the chords. For many agreements, we note the start we and every other note. The formula is 1, 3, 5 for a big deal. So for a C major chord starting on c, the notes c, e, g. When you blow into the ten hole diatonic harmonica in the key of C major, the notes c, e, g, c, e, g, c, e, g, c. In other words, if you blow the harmonica, you play a C major chord. From AG to a G7 agreement we have 1, 3, 5, 7. So the notes in the G7 agreement are g, b, d, f.. If your breath or draw on the ten hole diatonic harmonica in the key of C major, the notes are d, g, b, d, f, a, b, d, f, note a. one is not one of the fundamental notes of the G7 agreement but it goes well with her. So if you based on the harmonica, you are basically playing a G7 agreement.
When you play the diatonic harmonica the way it is designed to be played, you learn to play the melody notes as you explore and cover the other holes with your tongue. With your tongue extracted from an agreement accompanying the melody and you have hands of other effects, you really sound like a small band. How does this simple folk instrument become a blues harp. In the 1920s began harmonica players to discover how to get a different sound. They found that if you played it backwards, using the pull chord as your primary agreement and the secondary stroke as your agreement agree, you have a blues sound. It's called cross hammering. Your chords are G7 on the draw and C to work, you are playing blues in G on your C harmonica. This is called cross hammering. Add the technique of drawing on to the explanation and amplification curve and you have the blues harp. When you hear performed by an accomplished player, great it is the sounds they of such a simple instrument.
