Here’s the latest addition to my harmonica gang! Hohner 265 Bass Harmonica. This bass was played in the British Comedy Harmonica trio – ‘The Three Monarchs’ during the 1950s & 60s. It’s just arrived, and I’m quite happy with it – though very much in the early stages of learning to play it!
Here’s a quick soundclip of it
Have just made a rough recording using my little chord harmonica – the bass and my old Hohner 270 chromatic harmonica. It’s an old Salvation Army Chorus called ‘O Jesus, be thyself to me a living bright reality’ – the recording is a little bit rough as I’ve just very quickly recorded it through the microphone on the laptop – but it gives me a sense of how the bass might sound in an ensemble type situation.
