Day 46--Reeds



Did you know harmonicas have reeds? Neither did I until I shot this program today. I don't know if all harmonicas are reeded, but this one, a chord harmonica, most certainly does.

I had never seen or heard of such a device, but this is why I shoot these programs. Apparently this contraption, if I remember right, has 48 different chords, which are formed depending on how the player breathes in and out. There was also a bass harmonica which goes far lower than you might think. Pretty cool stuff.

It's convenient, too, since I'd hate to have not been able to use a shot of something as different as this.
