Harmonica Canon

My father had his 67th birthday on that day.

Here is a short spring song canon. I managed to play F- and C-chords on the ukelele for it,  but the instrument can't be seen in the video.

I think we would say 'constructive criticism welcome'.

Bernd, It must be great to have 3 brothers exactly like you!!!!!

I play canons in three parts with one harmonica, all voices simultaneously and without any electric or electronical device like loop or multiple track recording.

First voice left of the tongue block, second voice right of the tongue block, third voice by tonguetip in the middle of the tongue block. Actually it is not possible to virtually play every single note of all three voices. But this is not necessary at all. When properly played, the ear automatically is completing virtually missing single notes. I suppose that is some kind of psychoacoustic phenomenon.

The harmonica best suitable for this is one in solo tuning, where all of the 3 octaves have the same note layout. But it is possible on any other diatonic like Richter or Paddy as well.

I am very sorry, that I have not yet a sound example. But my knowledge and practical skills on recording technique are far behind my harmonica playing. And appropriate recording gear and the skills to use any of it properly I neither have. But maybe will come some day.


so long
