Natural minor special tuned Harmo Polar harmonica:
This harmonica is special tuned (not standard richter tuned) to make it easier for beginner and intermediate players to play minor songs in minor blues pentatonic, natural minor and dorian mode keys. If you know basic major patterns on the standard tuned harmonica you can easily use a natural minor tuned harmonica and reuse most of what you already know without having to learn new patterns and complex theory.
In the table below we can see a clear example of how the Harmo Polar natural minor tuned diatonic harmonica helps you get the most useful minor scales with 0 to 1 bend when you need anywhere from 2 to 8 on a standard harmonica.

MY GO TO PLACE
I really like discovering Polar harmonicas. I needed a Dminor for a church/synagogue music effect and I got it big time and more. With that line I now have four Polars and a bag from Harmo, to take better care of them, rather than having to put them in cases all the time. Talk about delivery time? Just a few days to get to the Virgin Islands! 5

The best diatonic in this price range
I own several Hohners (Marine Band, Crossover, Rocket, Special 20) and Seydel Session Steel. This harmonica is louder and easier to play than all of them. I simply love it ! Will order more keys very soon.

Great Harp!
I have been playing for almost 50 years, from Honer, to Seydel, to Lee Oskar, tinkered with reed tuning and setups, tried cheap and spendy, although no custom shop builds. I will be buying more of these to replace ALL of my top brand harps. Sounded and played better out of the box than ANY of them did without tinkering, which my old eyes don’t allow anymore. I will be considering a custom Harmo build, for the first custom harp I have ever considered.

Better than Lee Oskar
I’ve been playing Lee Oskar minor harps for 30 years and was blow away by the quality of the Polar over the Lee Oskar. Much more airtight and smoother covers.

Best minor harmonica I got
Really happy with my brand new Harmo Polar in natural minor tuning. That’s a second position tuning and is great for Blues, I can get the minor third without bending in the low register and without overblowing in the high register. The quality built is great and is pretty loud too.
