General

The Hohner HOM21 Penta Harp features an alternative, diatonic tuning in G-minor, so entry-level harmonica players can easily play through scales, even on the first try. Most harmonicas have a standard Richter tuning, where the notes of a major chord are arranged so they can be blown while the four remaining notes of the scale are drawn, making it easier to play chords by blowing or drawing multiple holes at once. This takes a lot of training and technique to master, but with the Penta Harp, Hohner flip this standard on its head. This smart harmonica has been tuned to a minor pentatonic scale, so by blowing and drawing each hole in succession, a full minor pentatonic scale is played.

The Perfect Beginner's Harp

The innovative tuning of the Penta Harp removes the need to learn techniques like note-bends and overblowing - which were developed to pull a wider note range out of the Richter tuning. Instead, players are handed a fully laid out, classic blues scale, where just playing separate notes is enough to weave solos. Even playing octaves is made easier, since the notes sit so close together - in fact, this harmonica actually makes it hard to play the wrong note - which is exactly why it might be less popular among experienced harp players. In short, the straightforward technique of the Penta Harp has been designed for other musicians, like guitarists and pianists that use the harmonica as an extra melody-maker.

Comprehensive Design

While it might take some getting used to, seasoned harmonica players also have a lot to gain here. For a start, every note can be bent and overblown to reach every note from the chromatic scale. While the note placement is a little less intuitive when playing chords than it is with the Richter scale, more technically advanced players will be able to pull out less common chords with greater ease. A pocket-sized revolution, the Hohner HOM21 Penta Harp comes complete with a protective case.

Hohner Penta Harp G Minor Diatonic Harmonica

Wrote the following about Hohner Penta Harp G Minor Diatonic Harmonica
Ik heb deze harmonica vooral uit nieuwsgierigheid gekocht, om een beetje te spelen met een andere tuning dan Richter en te zien wat ik er op kan improviseren.

De kwaliteit is prima, het is een Hohner Special 20 met een ander kleurtje comb en een andere tuning. De afmetingen en materialen zijn precies hetzelfde als de Special 20, en de harp klinkt ook hetzelfde. Over de responsiveness ook niks te klagen, opnieuw hetzelfde als bij Special 20 harps.

Hohner stelt dat deze harmonica handig is voor gitaarspelers of pianisten die de harmonica als tweede instrument er bij willen spelen. Hoewel ikzelf toch voornamelijk harmonicaspeler ben en hem ook vanuit dat perspectief benader, lijkt dit te kloppen. De pentatonische scale klinkt goed, zonder enig benden vereist. Zolang je noten kan isoleren, kun je plezier van deze harmonica hebben.

Vanuit het oogpunt van een harmonica speler is dit vooral leuk om mee te experimenteren. Als je harmonicaspeler bent neem ik aan dat je kan benden, en ook op een standaard Richter tuning de pentatonische scale kan bereiken. De "main gimmick" van deze harp is dus niet erg nodig.

Echter, de tuning van de Pentaharp biedt nieuwe mogelijkheden alleen al door het feit dat je andere noten naast elkaar hebt liggen. Andere akkoorden worden mogelijk, andere progressies worden makkelijker. Pak hem op, improviseer in het rond en zie waar de harmonica je heen leidt.
