I have played stacked harmonica. I prefer Suzuki Overdrive key A and C. I also see online they sell a stacked set for classical orchestras and the = price is about $250 or something of that sort. I am so tempted, but that is too high of a ticket for me to pay if it is no= t the same effect. I would like to manufacture a device that would hold two harmonicas no matt= er what the style and shape. Suzuki Overdrives are not rectangular. They are sloped and the holes are on= the top not the back so there has to be a slight separation or the holes o= n the bottom will be blocked. --- In [email protected], "Gerard" <gerard1973@...> wrote: > >=20 >=20 > --- In [email protected], "Isaac Brito" <isaacbrito@> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > I=B4ve just seen a photo in the archives of this group... stacked=20 > > diatonic harmonica.

My main diat= onic harmonica would be in the key of C. That harmonica would give me my C = (I) and G (V) chords for a song, tune, melody, etc. >=20 > Now the majority of songs normally have at least three chords: I, IV and = the V (Key of C - C, F and G). I would then stack a second harmonica undern= eath the first or primary harmonica. This harmonic would either be in the k= ey of F (The I chord would be F - for my IV chord) or in the key of Bb (Whi= ch also contains an F chord - for it's V chord). With two stacked diatonic = harmonicas, I can play all of the major chords and most of the minor chords= I need in a song. > ------------------------------------
