Lee Oskar Harmonica Major Diatonic Key of E
The Major Diatonic is the standard Blues tuning and may be played in the 1st & 2nd Positions (Straight Harp & Cross Harp).
The evolution of music introduced Blues, Rock and Country and along with these new forms of music came the need for greater expression. Harmonica players began to experiment and found that when they primarily used the inhale (draw) notes, a different kind of sound was provided. This resulted in a new and more fluid style of playing, known as 2nd Position (Cross Harp). 90% of today’s players use 2nd Position for Blues, Rock, Country & Pop music.
2nd Position (Cross Harp), is a Blues scale that offers a more expressive and soulful sound. Many of the draw reeds can be bent (a technique used to change the pitch of a note).

The Major Diatonic harmonica is the most commonly used tuning for playing Blues, Rock, Country, Folk and Jazz. This is the traditional blues and rock harmonica tuning. Major Diatonic harps are produced by several manufacturers and all of these harmonicas have the exact same note layout as the Lee Oskar Major Diatonic. The most important difference is in the quality of materials, construction, design and sound.
