Diatonic

Blues, rock, country, jazz; whatever the occasion, there is a pretty good chance that the soulful sound you'll hear is that of the diatonic harmonica, or blues harp. This apparently simple instrument has been around in one form or another for a lot of years. Although the design has changed relatively little over the last hundred and fifty years, the materials have changed dramatically! The traditional wooden comb is now often made of plastic or aluminium alloy, and computerised production in the best factories ensures more consistent quality than was ever possible before.
