LEE OSKER Melody Maker | 1910MMC | Key C

LEE OSKER Melody Maker | 1910MMC | Key C

Product Code: 08ALEE-1910MMC

All Lee Oskar harps come with a Slide-Together Interlocking Case which makes it convenient for carrying multiple harps. 

They feature a durable plastic comb which projects loudly with a brightly balanced sound.  The added benefits of plastic combs are that they are precision-moulded with a recessed bed which secures reed plates and prevents air leakage and plastic is not prone to swelling or shrinkage with use unlike it’s wooden alternative.

Lee Oskar harmonica reed plates are made from top quality brass, expertly tuned and are replaceable so the casing is a harp for life.

Melody Maker

The Melody Maker harmonica makes it easier to play Standards and many other songs that can be difficult to play on a Major Diatonic, while producing a very expressive sound. The Melody Maker is the best harp available for playing single-note melodies.

With its three altered notes, the Melody Maker is intended for playing Major scale melodies in 2nd Position (Cross Harp).  In 1st Position (Straight Harp), you can play: Irish, Clave/Afro music.  In 2nd Position (Cross Harp), you can play: R&B, Country, Reggae, Pop, Jazz, Latin.

Major Diatonics are key-labelled in 1st Position.  However, when played in 2nd Position, the Key of the Harp is not the same as the key of the music.

Melody Makers are key-labelled in 2nd Position.  

This makes it easy to know which key of Melody Maker™ to use.

To play music in the key of G, in 2nd Position, use a G Melody Maker™. It’s that simple! G for G. The last image shows the notes that have been altered from a Major Diatonic, allowing you to play melodies easily in 2nd Position.

Helpful key selection charts are packed inside every Lee Oskar Harmonica. 

 (The Melody Maker is NOT recommended for Blues).
