The Lee Oskar Melody Maker, with it’s three altered notes, is great for playing major scale melodies.
Lee Oskar Melody Makers are designed to be played in cross harp (draw), not straight harp (blow).
In cross harp, melodies can be played with an expressive, fluid style that is extremely difficult to achieve in straight harp.
Lee Oskar Melody Makers are the best harmonicas available for playing SINGLE-NOTE MELODIES.
They’re great for playing Country, Pop, R&B, Jazz, Folk & Standards.
This tuning makes it easier to play many songs…that can be difficult, or impossible, to play on a standard Major Diatonic…IN CROSS HARP.
All of the notes that were missing on the Major Diatonic are right there on the Melody Maker!
Incredible For Playing Melodies In Cross Harp!
These harmonicas provide a complete major scale, in cross harp, for playing exact melody without bending. Yet, the draw notes can still be bent for that bluesy feeling!
