What is a "harmonica"?
A harmonica is a small, portable wind instrument with a series of metal reeds mounted inside a rectangular metal or plastic casing. The player produces sound by blowing air into or drawing air out of holes along the instrument, which causes the reeds to vibrate and create musical notes. The harmonica is versatile and used in various genres, including blues, folk, rock, and country music. Its compact size and expressive sound make it popular for both solo performances and as an accompaniment in various musical settings.
