Stick with the C. It can be played along with a guitar in C and E. Others cant. That's the reason I chose C but I never play with anyone..Thinking some tunes might be easier with a deeper key.

C is the common one. I have a G and a Low D as well. I participate in a harp forum and that has kept me practicing. Interesting. Never occurred that there might be a harp forum. Got a link? Is it active?

Any of you guys know anything about a Hohner chromonica? It's made in Germany.

I have an A and an E and a double reed C Which do you find yourself playing the most? I prefer the E. C is my last choice.

I’ve played the harp off and on for a long time. My Dad got me started when I was young. We often played together and he had an odd style which I learned from him. I like a hohner special 20 in the key of g. ( the people’s chord ). The special 20 holds up well and is easy to bend. Also have a c, d, and an a. Getting my granddaughter started is fun too. She’s playing a miniature harp she calls the baby.

Outstanding! I have given a few harps to kids that were interested. Their parents were not quite as excited about it as the kid! lol! When I worked( now retired), I carried a harp in my pocket all the time. If I got caught in a traffic hold up or just had to sit someplace for a while, I would pull out that harp. It's a Stress reliever and a great way to pass the time. I have a good friend who started me playing. We hunt/camp together a couple times a year. We spent many night sippin "popskull" and playing music.

I have a C to go with my guitar but I haven't bought the neck holder and my dog howls when I play.
Good luck.

Every year since 2002, We have held an invitational squirrel hunt on the southern tip of Illinois. Folks come from all over the country and we hunt squirrels for about 5 days. Saturday night, we all throw stuff into a potluck dinner. There are some mighty fine cooks who show up for this thing. After dinner, anybody who can play a musical instrument of any kind gets them out and we have a little jam session. Remember that we only see each other mostly about once a year. It's campfire music for sure but it sometimes goes on until almost daylight. (that's when real squirrel hunters are in the timber) Anyways, A friend of mine made this little video of some of us doing the tune, "Dueling Banjos". It was fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xf5BS4xiAY
