Bushman Game Changer 10 Hole Diatonic Harmonica with Slide POP Tuning. Includes Free USA Shipping
The Pop Tuned (aka Paddy) Game Changer – First, let me refer back to the Richter Game Changer’s tuning ‘s which is the standard tuning for most diatonic harmonicas. Richter tuning works great for simple songs and blues. It’s originally designed for playing chords, as opposed to single note melodies.
The blow notes are on the top, the draw notes on the bottom. Richter is popular and versatile, but it’s missing some notes it needs in order to be perfectly suited to play lots of melodies. Notice that the bottom register is missing the F and A of the C scale. This can be a problem for playing melodies that call for one of those notes, especially if you’re playing quickly. It’s possible to bend the existing notes to get the missing ones, but like I said above, bending while trying to play precise melodies is just not ideal – having a button that enables you get some more of the notes you need, when you need them, is better, but what if you could include the missing notes? It’s also called Pop tuning because it’s great for playing lots of pop songs. On a POP tuned C harp, the G becomes an A.
The Pop Game Changer – Finally, a harmonica that can handle almost any song ever written! The Pop Game Changer has a red comb.
