Because when you bought it you were young and poor.

actually, my grandma bought it in romania about half a century ago

but something perplexes me regarding chromatic harmonicas, namely chords; how would i play a c-d#-g chord on it for instance?

I would spell that chord a c-e flat(eb)-g that means a C minor. Now depents on how your harmonica is constructed for the left hand.

There are harmonicas that have "preseted" chords for the left hand. Each button, a chord. The position of the butons are quite different from the piano keys (chromatic); they go downwards in 5-ths. You got several rows of buttons, usually the first one is for single notes, the second one for the accordingly major chords and the third one for minor chords.

and you say your grandmother bought it from Romania?

Hmmm. Think you're mixing up harmonicas with accordians here.

Hmmm. Think you're mixing up harmonicas with accordians here.

Maybe. The fact is that we got here in Romania the term "Armonica" which is an instrument closely related with the accordion, meanwhile for the englsh word "harmonica" we got the romanian corespondent "muzicutza".
That's why I kinda messed up.

I'm quiet surprised my Rachmiel interpretation is scoring. I didn't realize there were so many addepts for this kind of music.

It made me think...
"There's obviously a market and almost no competition (only Rachmiel - who's too busy explaining his hocus-pocus in articles)... "

Maybe I'll have to do Gestalt-disco or heavy Gestalt-polka...

Cheers,

Max... .. .
