What sets it apart
- C chord drawing on holes 1 to 4
- F4 on hole 1: second highest in the series
- Made with western, folk and Nashville country in mind
- F chord on the blow
From the Mississippi to Nashville
Hohner named the Big River after the Mississippi and pitches it as a starting point into western, folk and Nashville-style country. Its catalogue adds Memphis rock and roll, Delta blues and New Orleans jazz.
In F, the blow gives F, A and C; drawing on holes 1 to 4 gives G, C, E and G, a C chord. A song in C is therefore played as blues on this harp. Hole 1 starts on the F above middle C, which puts it in a high register.
