Any harmonica players that have tried this?

The person who recommended this gel is not a harmonica player, but is a salesman who talks for a living. He has used it for years and it really helps him with talk related dry mouth, so I'm sure it will help with harmonica playing related dry mouth. Any dry mouth causes can benefit from this product. It may not be a cure, but it does provide some comfort. I buy this for my father who suffers from medicine induced dry mouth.

I'm not a harmonica player, but if you're worried about the gel formula, try their dry mouth spray. It works equally as good and has a pleasant taste.

Use a C. Good harmonica for the beginner would be a special twenty by Hohner.

Not any more than any other harmonica. It's really a great instrument for several reasons. I use it to help exercise my lungs before concerts. My wife uses hers to help with her COPD. It does wonders for loosening up your bronchial passages. I hope this helps.

It's an individual choice. Any mid to high end harmonica is fine, but I would avoid cheap harmonicas at all costs. I also do not recommend wood combs (the Hohner blues harps) for a beginner. They are more difficult to use, especially for bending. Go with plastic combs, at least in the beginning.

Any overdrive pedal can be used to create an overdrive sound to a harmonica mic provided it's wired for a high impedance 1/4 phone jack. It should be noted that any mic used with overdrives or overdriven amps are more prone to feedback.

If you're squeemish, then a used harmonica is not for you. However, you can google search how to clean your harmonica. I'd recommend a thorough cleaning of any used instrument. There can be other problems with used equipment, so buy new if you can afford it.

I play harp using a bullet microphone through it and play my Fender Strat through it, and I am very please with both sounds. I never tried both at the same time but I am told there is a jack in the back. Is it for a second input? not sure, but I am sure there is tech info online regarding its use.

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for but it is a great amp. I sing and play the harmonica through it. I also added a reverb box in front of it to give it an even better sound. Sounds great without it though

Compared to a metal harmonica the plastic set is no match. I bought the peidmont blues set to get an ear for each key but after a month or so I ended up buying a set of Hohner Special 20's. The sound of the special 20's is far superior to the peidmont set. The plastic body leaks more air, and the reeds are of lesser quality and are very difficult to use for bending and actual playing. I would tell you to spend more and buy a set of special 20's, but if you want a decent case only then the piedmont set should suffice. Bottom line is you're better off spending more on better quality harmonicas. Or even just spending 10 bucks more on one special 20 and not even buying this piedmont set.Happy Harpin'! - Mark Compared to a metal harmonica the plastic set is no match.

Almost all roots of country and blues, have been written and recorded in three different keys. G,C, & A. Depending what type of style Harp you wanna play, could depent on what key. I recommend keys of A, C, D, & G. Cross Blowing gives you a more warm bluesy sound. i.e., The melody or rhythm is in the key of A, The key of D should be used with a draw more than a blow. Good Luck and Don't give up.

Looks like your questions have been answered. I find $40 to $50 is plenty to spend on a harmonica - especially if you are at a level where you are asking a question like this. Go with the Hohner Special 20s and you won't be sorry. I've heard wooden combs swell up but never tried one. Love my first Special 20 and about to get a second one soon. Probably a D.

Good question! I have no musical instruments so can't say. The reasonable price in my opinion makes it worth the try.

The Artist pickup works great on Banjo's, Ukes, and such. It puts out good solid tone with a good volume level. Hope you enjoy it!!!! Dean

When you play any harmonica the result is the same. It gets saturated with water (i.e. spit). Clean your Little Lady with water. Just swish it around in some water and shake it, then let it dry awhile.

I put my entire harmonica collection in this bandoleer and was not disappointed. I had to modify three of the holders to accommodate my larger harmonicas, but who hasn't had this problem. The biggest problem that I've had is when I ride my motorcycle at high speeds the wind causes all my harmonicas to play a very unpleasantly loud sound, much like an air horn on a freight train. If you are planning any high speed activities with this bandoleer, I would suggest earplugs.

Your sax is a lot louder than my harmonica and it is plenty loud enough for me, so you shouldn't have any problem either
