It is finished.

In April 2025 I bought a special 20 in a C so I could push myself to practice again. Slowly but surely I’ve purchased each harmonica key one at a time, that I thought I needed. Sometimes I should have bought a different key first. Other people have 12 or a 100, and I know they do. We see them posted. When I first bought a crappy Blues Bender at a Cracker Barrel I never thought harmonica would pull at me for 20 years. In the last couple years I’ve started again and it’s changed me. Not in a cliche way, but it’s given me a creative outlet I never knew I had. In creativity, practice and just plain equipment I’ve grown . Might not seem like much, playing and collecting harp, but it’s honest work. I started following and posting here and learning from others. Sometimes I said some incorrect things. I still came here on this part of my journey. So here it is my complete ten set for me, and by me. Thanks Guys

I have the full set of Marine Band Deluxes, but have been hankering to try the Special 20s.

Special 20s are good for learning. Crossovers are even better for the rest.

I love that Super Blues album! It’s like blues superhero propaganda. Such an interesting snapshot in time.

The back cover story is so racist. It’s like a world politics version of Fat Albert and The Gang. This is the Italian print but even though the front is slightly different the back is the same.

A little “beginner” of me but what is a “counter tuned” g harmonica. I have not heard of this?

[u/harmonimaniac → u/Lakeside82]

Country tuned.
