Incredible For Playing Melodies In Cross Harp!

Melody Makers are the best harps available for playing STANDARD SINGLE-NOTE MELODIES. They're great for playing COUNTRY, R&B, POP, WORLD BEAT, AFRICAN and REGGAE.

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!

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!

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.

Blue Label - Lee's favorite! This tuning is absolutely the best harp available for single-note "melody playing". Only three notes have been altered from standard major tuning, making it easier to play many country, R&B, pop, standard and jazz songs that are difficult to play in cross harp, on a major harmonica.

You can still bend notes for an expressive feeling, yet the "Melody Maker" provides a complete major scale (in cross harp) for playing exact melody without bending! Great for all levels, from pros to beginners and children.

Great harps

I found the Music Stand online a few years ago and have ordered a number of harps and things. Quality and service equals value. Hats off to Kaz and crew.

I like everything about the Lee Oscar harps. Loud, clear, bendable, useful tunings, easy maintenance, they do it all. At a super price point.

My recent shipment of harps even inspired me to solve a problem the other day - how to set my Green Bullet on a stand. See the photos; it’s solid. Next I need to build a double wide rack for two 10-holers.

Can't get better for Lee Oskar harmonicas

First purchas from Music Stand. Completely satisfied. Have been using LO harps for over 20 years and they've never let me down. Music Stand has best prices I've found to date. Service first rate, communication enviable. MS will be my go to people from today. Out of the box reliable, which I can't say from other manufacturers. Especially important (of course) when you're gigging and relying on a duty-ready machine.

Great store, great harp

My first LO harp and my first altered tuning. MM tuning is similar enough to richter so it’s familiar, but th three altered noted truly are great for non blues playing and melodies. Getting that big bright chord is great too. Excellent service from Music Stand!
