The most characteristic harmonica sound we hear today is the blues-harp style, developed by the Afro-Americans. It uses soulful note bending to give that bluesy wailing sound we all associate with the harp. You often hear it in contemporary American styles like Blues, Jazz, Country and Rock. However the free-reed that makes the sound in harmonicas is thousands of years old, first documented in ancient Chinese literature. It has long been used in traditional Chinese folk instruments like the Hulusi, Bawu, Sheng etc.
