Frequently Asked Questions
The Rocket Harp is significantly louder due to its optimized cover and channel design; expect a more assertive projection.
While plastic combs are less traditional, Hohner’s plastic is durable and provides comfort. Serious players might eventually prefer a wooden comb for nuanced tone, but it's not a dealbreaker.
Richter tuning is a standard diatonic harmonica layout; it's the most common and versatile arrangement, allowing for both melody and basic chord playing.
