Lee Oskar 1910EF Eb Major Diatonic Harmonica

The Lee Oskar 1910EF is a Major Diatonic harmonica in the key of Eb, designed for blues, rock, folk, country, pop and general melody playing. Part of Lee Oskar’s well-known 1910 Major Diatonic range, it uses the standard Richter-style layout that many players start with and continue using for years.

Lee Oskar harmonicas are popular with beginners and experienced players because they are easy to play, responsive and serviceable. The replaceable reed plate design means the harmonica can be maintained more easily over time, rather than replacing the whole instrument when the reeds eventually wear.

What does it actually sound like?
The Eb Major Diatonic has a bright, clear sound that works well for melody playing in first position and expressive blues-style playing in second position. It is a useful key for players building a set of harmonicas beyond the usual C, G, A and D keys.

The 1910 Major Diatonic range is often chosen for blues, rock, country, folk and pop because it gives players a familiar layout, good response and the ability to bend notes for more expressive phrasing.

Not sure if this is right?
This is the Eb Major Diatonic version. If you are buying your first harmonica, many tutor books and beginner lessons start with the key of C, so check what key you need before ordering.

If you already own a C harmonica and want to build a useful set of keys, Eb is a good additional option for songs and playing situations where a higher-pitched diatonic harp is required.
