Yes, I know how urgent it must be for you to want to get all the facts about mouth organs before making such a committment.

[flyingjellocubes]

its very urgent! its such a commitment you would not believe. i find it hard to sleep at night just thinking about it.

correct me if im wrong, but isnt 'mouth organ' a nickname for the harmonica?

[flyingjellocubes]

It might be a nickname i'm not entirely sure but i think its sorta like a recorder but you press down keys like on an organ to make different sounds...ive seen a picture of one but i dunno

[Peachslide]

A mouth organ is the real name for a harmonica. You're thinking of a melodica, I think that's the name. You can play it right up to your mouth or you can use a tube that usually comes with one to play the keyboard like you would an organ, but it only has one manual (keyboard) so it's just a keyboard not really organ like.

but then again maybe im thinking of a bass harmonica or something...but a mouth organ has two reeds...this is weird...

[Peachslide]

I think all harmonicas have 2 reeds one for blowing in and one for sucking out. Maybe you're thinking of a Chromatic harmonica which is huge.

[flyingjellocubes]

yeah i think its the chromatic harmonica. didn't know it was called that. those things are fatasses man...but they look kinda fun to play...

maybe some harmonicas only have one reed, while others have two. i dunno what would vary it....ah well ill check into that. thanks peachslide.

A chromatic harmonica is just a (usually but not always) larger harmonica with one button on the side to allow you to play chromatically. If you're talking about something with a small keyboard attached, it isn't a harmonica (or mouth-organ). There are several variaties of instruments like that, the melodica being the most common.
