Hi my name is charchit wagle and I come from country named Nepal. I have been playing harmonica from few days so I don’t understand a lot of things about it. But I do play some tones I guess as sad one and happy one tone. Sometimes I even play as a army tone. I really don’t know how to describe my sounds. So yes I am a beginner no idea what lies beyond that. I have 24 holes harmonica with small holes 48. I got this harmonica from my uncle. My uncle bought this harmonica for his song but he didnot play at the time and I got harmonica after many years so its pretty old and not used since. Sometimes I feel like sounds are not coming right. I really don’t know how to describe it.

@tone_deaf_neil thanks for the note! Welcome to the forum. You CAN INDEED reach a standard you can enjoy. Try it! Money back guarantee, so no fear. 
I appreciate the humor of your handle, but there’s no such thing as “tone deaf”. ANYONE can learn to match pitch. Rock on! 
@orthoalt Hi Eric! Welcome to the forum. Your journey with harmonica is going to turn out VERY different from with guitar. And I do actually believe that the instrument was to blame with your guitar experience. A poor carpenter blames his tools, but there IS a minimum threshold. You can’t pound a nail with a plastic hammer.
@Roy1 God bless you my friend! Honored to have you here. WELCOME to the forum. And please keep us posted how it goes for ya. Rock on!
@Charchit_wagle welcome to the forum! I believe you’re the first person from Nepal to join us! Yes, sounds like you have a tremolo harmonica. I recommend purchasing a 10-hole harmonica which is what most of us here play most of the time. If you can’t get one, let me know and perhaps I can help you. Rock on!

Hello from Southwest Florida. Just getting serious about learning the blues harmonica. I have been playing the tenor sax for a couple years . And I’m finding the harmonica is a lot easier to put in my pocket and jam with backing tracks in my car , and elsewhere ha ha . Glad to be here !

Hi My Name is Andy I’m a harp player of 30 or so years, kind of got frustrated and quit for a while also I had a bit of a health scare that destroyed my energy, kind of making a come back now building a rep. Just wish I could find a band with similar tastes so I can show people what I can really do. My playing style is a mix of everything I’ve ever heard. Whether it harp, guitar sax trumpet, I’m a Magpie I steal all of other people’s shiny bits. I also sing, again inspired by everyone I’ve heard. Looking forward to talking with fellow harpists on here. My main style is Blues, but I can pretty much turn my harp to most styles. I recently played with a few superb bands having a jam. One was a 30’s style blues band with a very clear sound and I really loved that. It got me really fired up to really kick into high gear.

Hey I’m Dori, from the coast of North Carolina. I started fiddling around with harmonicas about a year ago. I have absolutely no musical background (piano-school flunk-out)… but I’m intrigued by the harmonica. I can bend notes, but having such trouble with single-note play. I also have a wierd way of holding the harmonica. Oh I’m a mess, but I DEARLY want to play well…

Hiya.
Greetings from the sunny UK.
I’m a complete newbie on the harmonica, but can knock out a tune or two on the 5-string banjo.
I’d like to learn how to play the harmonica as it they sound great and are a lot more portable than a banjo!
I’m considering joining the Beginner to Boss course, but it’s a bit expensive for me - I’m a poor, impoverished state pensioner. What do you think? Should I bite the bullet?
Best regards
Phil
