Description
This diatonic harmonica in the key of C pairs polished silver metal cover plates with a black plastic body, and its ten holes are numbered one to ten along the top plate so you always know where you are. The cover carries the Spirit of Adventure design: a vintage banner with the word Harmonica in tall lettering, a small Diatonic flourish beneath and a C at one end, echoed by a C printed on the black body. Two gold-coloured screws hold the covers in place. It measures 10.5cm long, 3cm wide and 2cm high, so it sits comfortably in one hand and slips easily into a pocket.
We like it as a little instrument to keep close at hand: on a desk, in a coat pocket, or tucked into a rucksack for camping trips and long walks, ready whenever a tune comes to mind. It comes with instructions, including a song sheet that marks each note by its hole number in coloured circles, so you can follow along and work out simple melodies at your own pace. It makes a cheerful gift for anyone who has always fancied playing a tune, and a fun one to share around a campfire.
It arrives in a matchbox-style gift box printed in teal, cream and orange with an illustration of the harmonica, and the inner tray slides out to reveal it held snugly in black foam. The box also holds a cleaning cloth. After playing, wipe the cover plates with a soft dry cloth and return the harmonica to its box, which keeps dust and fluff out of the holes between tunes. Presented in that box, it needs little more than a ribbon to be ready to give.
