Angkor Music — Key of B: A Specialist Key for Specific Musical Contexts

B is one of the less commonly selected diatonic harmonica keys — it sits outside the most frequently played popular music keys and is primarily chosen by players who have a specific musical need for it. In first position, a B harmonica plays the B major scale — a key used in some folk, some classical repertoire and certain rock and pop songs written in B. In second position, a B harmonica plays in F# — one of the least common popular music keys, but one that occasionally appears in specific folk, classical or contemporary contexts. In third position, B gives C# minor. Players who are selecting the B key should have a clear musical reason for it — a piece of repertoire, an ensemble context or a playing partner whose instrument is centred in B or F#. For players without a specific reason, C, G, A or D are the more practical starting points. The Golden Melody Progressive in B offers the same equal temperament accuracy as all other keys in the range — important for any ensemble context. For full information on equal temperament see the 542C product page.
