Are the Mouth Organ and the Harmonica one and the same thing or is there some specific technical difference between the two ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Mouth Organ and the Harmonica one and the same thing or is there some specific technical difference between the two ? Like so many things, I think you would get different answers from different people. Here are some I've encountered: They are one and the same. Like the difference between "fiddle" and "violin", it depends on who is playing it and what they're playing on it. There are several kinds of "harmonica" (just as there are different kinds of concertina), and "mouth organ" normally refers only to the most primitive (like the 20-button anglo?). Then there are those languages where the word "harmonika" refers to what we call an "accordion", and what Americans call a "harmonica" is named (in translation) "mouth accordion" (e.g., "mundharmonika" in Danish).
