Lee Oskar Harmonica, Natural Minor Key of E Flat Feature

  • Natural Minor
  • Green Label
Natural Minor harps have a very bluesy, soulful sound that's perfect for playing MINOR Blues, Rock, Country, Reggae, Pop & Jazz. This fabulous tuning is set up to play MINOR MUSIC easily, without straining the lips, the lungs or the mind! All of the notes and chords that were missing on the Major Diatonic, for playing minor blues, are right there on the Natural Minor. Natural Minors are designed to be played in cross harp (draw), not straight harp (blow). In cross harp, many of the draw notes can be bent and this allows for a much more expressive, fluid style of playing. Cross harp is a very popular style used by most players for today's music.

Rees Harps Harpsicle Harp, Natural Maple

Rees Harps Harpsicle Harp, Natural Maple Reviews



More Picture


No one has reviewed this instrument when I arrived at this page while browsing Amazon's harp choices, so I thought I would because Harpsicles are worth talking about! They are absolutely amazing instruments for their ranges and price. And they are just so fun with all their great colors! Made with love, care, and pride in the USA, these harp give real people a chance to own an amazing instrument in ways they can afford. [If you have ever shopped for performance / concert level harps with their $$$$$ price tags, you will know what I am talking about!] I own a Harpsicle Harp (although its a green one rather than the Maple one advertised on this page), and I also own a Sharpsicle, which is the next harp up from this model. (People who are interested in Celtic music and more advanced music should investigate the lever harps, which allow them to explore those levels of music. Sharpsicles and Flatsicles made by the same company offer more musical options for the player.) I love my regular Harpsicle when I am just plucking the strings for my personal amusement, for the family, for my classes, or for relaxation. br /br /The Harpsicle is the basic model, and it cannot be upgraded to the next level. However, for some people, this basic Harp is all that they need or want. The Harpsicle Company has a website where it offer a nice collection of music books and resources specifically designed for this instrument line. On the Harpsicle website, visitors can also hear how the instrument sounds by clicking the "Listen" link. A variety of other accessories like straps, stands, and cases are available too! The company also offers an excellent teaching DVD that can help beginners get started with their own Harpsicles. The DVD can be found with their new beginner's book published by Mel Bay: "Harpsicle Harp Method Book 1." You should be able to purchase this book on Amazon as well. You may also find many of the accessories as well by doing a search. [Harp beginners will find this book / DVD information and visual data useful! So, if you are buying an instrument, buy the Harpsicle Harp Method Book 1 too.] br /br /Google Harpsicle and lessons (or online lessons); you'll find teachers and music therapists like those at Harp Spirit and Rainbow of Sound using the Harpsicles with great responses and success. Hey, did you know that you can take harp lessons over the internet via Skype?? :D br /br /This regular Harpsicle is definitely a great beginner's harp for children AND for adults. It makes a cool portable harp; it's worth buying if this is a first harp purchase. This quality instrument has a warm, lovely sound that pleases, and you can feel the music as you play. The strings are soft--no HARSH wires, and they do not hurt your hands. It's quite easy to tune if you have an electronic tuner, or those more musically inclined can probably use a piano. [To reduce the tension on the strings during travel, the new harp comes untuned. However, it does come with a tuning tool and instructions. Electronic tuner is sold separately, but it is worth the purchase so that it can arrive when or before the harp arrives. Harpsicle recommends that when you first receive your new harp to tune it every day because this helps to stabilize the new sound board.] Additionally, it smells nice! LOL (But then I love the smell of woods.) br /br /Please don't even bother with those cheap harps made from other countries. They make look pretty and reasonable, but they are disappointing if you seriously want to play music. If you want to truly play the harp, if it is your first time buying a "real" harp, go for the Harpsicle (..or if you are most advanced musically, the Sharpsicle, Flatsicle, or Fullsicle! I think there is even a Grandsicle now! LOL Sure, that Harpsicle lines are a bit more expensive than those Mid-East products, but the Harpsicles and their advanced models excel in sound, workmanship, dependability, quality, customer support from Rees, and maintenance. I've had both my harps from this company for nearly a year now, and I have never had one minute of trouble from either of them! Great products for our family!

  • 33" tall
  • 26 strings
  • 3-1/2 octaves, G to C below middle C
  • 4 lb.
  • Self-teaching booklet, tuning wrench, strap buttons
The Harpsicle Harp can be played in the key of C and A minor or tuned to any other scale. All of our Harpsicle Harp music sets are in the Key of C and A minor. Also, there is a lifetime of music already published in these keys. Like the Renaissance harp, the Harpsicle Harp has no Bridge pins so levers cannot be added. This is the perfect harp for beginners or the casual harpist.Perhaps you have always wanted to play the harp? Maybe you have thought about dabbling with a harp but harps just seemed too expensive? Harpsicle Harps are the answer for you. Harpsicle Harps are well designed, sturdily built and have the correct string spacing which make them an excellent selection for a first time harper. Light and portable, they are also a wonderful choice for harp therapy practitioners and are recommended by many harp therapy programs. These simple harps have nice volume and tone. Harpsicle Harps are well made and maintain tuning as well as any professional harp. Not to be confused with Pakistani and Chinese imported "harps," Harpsicle Harps have the correct string spacing and maintain tune as soundly as any professional harp. Light and portable, Harpsicle Harps fit in the overhead storage bin or garment closet of most airliners. Even standing to play or marching in a parade is possible with a Harpsicle Harp. Harpsicle Harps are so portable, they make chairs optional!
