Heck that's one crazy looking instrument Michael, looks like a mini Typewriter:)

Nice job. It looks real tricky to play and seems like it must take a lot of breath control.

I'm way impressed with this clip, Michael. Never heard of or seen a harmonetta. I will need to Google to see if I can learn more about it.

I second Greyowl's comment that it looks incredibly intricate and difficult to play. Seems like you're only blowing out. Is that right?

EDIT: Is it set up for overblows!? :p

Love those chords, but it looks very complicated to play, like blowing into an old calculator! Very impressive stuff.

Actually, both the blow notes and draw notes are the exact same so breathing almost takes care of itself. It is fully chromatic, so no need to overblow. To play just rhythm chords is not so hard, but to play rhythm and melody is very complex. I have 3 more Youtube videos:



ENjoy!
