Only two weeks left: the #harmonica_of_the_month_10:

SESSION STEEL - DiMiNiShEd LF# ...play chromatically in 12 keys on a single instrument!

Diminished is actually the name of a chord and a scale. For example the diminished chord in C contains the notes: C, Eb, Gb (and A). The scale contains C, D, Eb, F, Gb, Ab, A and B.

The Diminished-Tuning for diatonic harmonicas has the same symmetrical order of notes. This layout makes it possible to reach all chromatic notes with simple semi-tone draw bendings alone - not too difficult to learn!

Concert with the master of the diatonic harmonica in Klingenthal/Germany

Harmonica virtuoso HOWARD LEVY is the true master of chromatic playing on the diatonic harmonica - his playing technique is like from outer space.

LEVY and the exceptional organ player MATTHIAS GRÜNERT (lecturer for organ and church music in Dresden/Germany) are on common musical ways developing an unique mixture of Classical, Jazz, Traditional and modern music!

This concert will be absolutely unique and absolutely worth listening!

> Oct 31st at 7:30 pm - come to Klingenthal/Germany
