Harmonica
The Harmonica is a wind instrument and its sounds are produced by free reeds. There are two main models - the crhomatic and the diatonic harmonica.
How does it work?
The harmonica has in its embouchure a set of holes through which the player blows or suckis in the air, making the metal reeds, which are fixed in a groove, vibrate.
A bit of history...
The harmonica is originated from an ancient chinese instrument named Sheng. Made out of bamboo reeds, it has existed for centuries in some regions of China.
