Cross Harp Harmonica & Q?
Im finally buying my first complete set of harmonicas. Unfortunately, I found that this can be quite pricey. Yes to determine that: How many harmonica I need to play with numbers in all 12 keys. (I suppose this can be achieved by cross-hammering) Can I just buy set of 5 or 6 harmonicas and still be able to play in all 12 keys?
Well, first off, you'd be hard pressed to find music in all 12 keys. Some are more dominant than others, and it varies from species to species. It also makes a difference whether you talk about the person or minor. I think the short answer for you to look at Dave Gage HarmonicaLessons.com site. There is a chart position there that will help you with the first, second, third and fifth positions and the key events for each of the harp. Link is in the source.
