Minor Swing by Django Reinhardt on diatonic and chromatic harmonica

This was one of the first jazz tunes I learned when I fell in love with jazz. It works nice both on the diatonic and chromatic harmonica. I play both in these video. Different sounds in the instruments!
Here is a link to the backing track I used:
• Minor Swing (160 bpm) ...

You make the diatonic play just like a violin, amazing!

[@christiankraut6554]

Somehow I like the chromatic one better - wouldn't have expected that at all! Brilliant work all of it!

[@hazmatite]

both of these sound incredible. i hate to say the diatonic sounds more expressive to me, because i love the chromatic, but it does.

[@FilipJersMusic]

Well diatonic is the best, then there is everything else... ;-)

[@khourytalal]

this is really great, I told you before you really made me change my mind about the chromatic harp!
In your classes would you also offer the tabs?

[@FilipJersMusic]

Yes of course!

[@brandonisaak998]

What position did you play the diatonic in and is that a different tuning ? You sure sound awesome !

[@pradipkumargoswami8191]

Really beautiful, but what scale/key?

[@MrSpacconi]

Il me semble que vous jouez avec un G en 3° position, d'ailleurs le chroma est aussi en G,pour jouer en 3° position aussi.Je préfère jouer avec un C diato et un C chroma car le morceau est en Am,,et jouer dans la relative de C ,est plus confortable pour moi !!

[@shalvapopkhadze3667]

Which key of diatonic?

[@AkosTothHotClub]

And what type of harmonica? (It seems C)

[@thesingmonicats1122]

The chrom is more delightful to my ears. But i am a chrom player with a deep phobia of diatonic so my opinion is very biased. 👍🙏

[@FilipJersMusic]

They are kind of different instrumnets with different timbre and possibilites!

[@smoothie2629]

You're missing out man
