To play both instruments, one would need a way to hold the harmonica while the hands chord and strum the guitar. The harmonica holder goes around the neck to allow the harmonica to always be in front of the player’s face.
Harmonica holders are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the most common are made of wood, metal, or plastic. The metal ones are the ones most commonly used in the United States, and the plastic ones can be found in many other countries as well.

What key should I get my harmonica in?
First get a harmonica in C. C is the best key to get started because the length of the reeds is average and it’s also the most common key in music. Out of the 12 keys, a harmonica in G has the longest reeds and a harmonica in F# has the shortest reeds.
Now that you know what keys to start with, you need to figure out how to play them. A scale is a series of notes that can be played in any order. For example, if you want to learn the C major scale you can start by playing the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C#.
You can then move on to the other notes by moving up and down the scale until you reach the note you’re looking for. This is called a “scale” and you’ll learn more about scales later in this lesson.
Is it OK to wash a harmonica?
This process should be part of your regular routine of instrument cleaning, as it’s simple and quick, and will help to limit saliva buildup in the harp. To remove any water that may have accumulated on the harmonica’s surface, you need to rinse it with water and then tap it against your hand.
If you’re using an instrument that doesn’t come with a cleaning cloth, you’ll need to wash it with warm water and a mild detergent, such as Dawn dishwashing liquid. If you don’t have a dishwasher, use a soft cloth or paper towel to wipe down your instrument with. You can also use an old toothbrush or a clean cloth to clean your harps.
Do you move your head or the harmonica?
It should be the harmonica that you move with your hands in front of your mouth, trying to keep it straight and not tilt it in a weird way. The tongue moves inside the mouth, so the jaw should not move left and right.
Do you need a harmonica for every key?
In particular, you should know that a set of harmonicas in different keys (as shown above) is needed before joining a jam. A set of harmonicas with keys of A, B, C, D, F and G will suit a lot of people, but not all of them.
