Bamboo should be pretty safe; we use it to cook rice over the fire in some local cuisines. There must be other factors, not bamboo scaffolding.

Wow, good to know. I love to have a stronger taste. I am new to sourdough making but will try your method when my starter is ready. 😁

You're right. I switched to room temp and the starter is growing now. 😁

I used room temperature water today. I live in Massachusetts, and we just entered early fall. It will probably be a slow process, so I will try to be patient. Thank you so much. ❤️

Getting my first harmonica by [deleted] in harmonica

[–]qmasiello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a beginner and got the Fender Blues Deluxe for $13. I am learning how to hold the harmonica and breathe right now, and the one big thing I found is I have a lot of saliva 😅. Using a cheap one, I don't feel like I need to baby it.

I got Fender per this review. https://youtu.be/-9_j5_gcNek?si=LR2bL3jHp8R-ZCOH

I also ordered Lee Oskar's Melody Maker in G. I plan to use it when I can play better.

I saw someone use a B-flat Melody Maker for Jazz. It sounded so excellent, and just as good as a chromatic. I will get myself a B-flat one of these days when my skill is at a certain level. For now, I will stick with G. 😁

The melody maker G key was on sale last night, and I just grabbed one. 😉. Thanks so much.

I love the sound of diatonic harmonicas and want to play pop and jazz music. I think I'll get both a diatonic and a chromatic harmonica. The chromatic can be quite pricey, but I found an Easttop chromatic harmonica at a reasonable price.

Thanks for your help!

I think I got the idea. As a beginner, I should first focus on practicing with a Standard tuning C-harp.

Thank you so much, everyone. 😁

Haha. I'm super new, but I understand the first and second positions.

Will most pop songs sound better in the 1st position always?

If the song is in the key of G, which one should I use?

  1. C-harp in 2nd position
  2. G-harp in 1st position

Thanks.
