I am seriously considering adding one of these to my gig bag and wanted to get some opinions on which I should get-
Seydel does have a richter blues tuning for this model
here are the options that they have-
A
Bb
G
LC
LD
LE
LF
I want to be able to play old school style blues such as little walter and butterfield tunes but also be able to come up with some of my own stuff as well
any ideas on which key or keys I should get my hands on first
thanks

They are great chros. I bought a Bb as my "second" harp to play tunes in C. Alas, I like the CX12 better, so I am selling this if interested.

I own the keys of C, Bb, G and D.

For your first chrom, go for a C. 12 holes is enough to start, a 16 would be great.

Yes, C for starters. Pretty much all the classic blues are done w/
a C chromatic. This would be the Hohner 64. It is a 16 holer and 64 is the number of reeds they sport. Just as some 12 hole models will adopt '48' as a model number since they have 48 reeds.

Have good day. M.A.P.
