I shall never forget those days of my life I used to learn every sweet notes of tune from him. I was always a lucky student as a last student of the day, where I used to enjoy many tunes/special effects played by him. Today at Germany when I see Hohner Chromatica, I feel proud of my teacher , perhaps who did the real justice to this instrument after Larry Adler.One request, can any body collect all the tunes played by Sir and publish in mp3 format.

As you know bengal is a state where there are maximum harmonica players in india.<BR/><BR/>You have asked for saikat Mukherjee. Few months ago he released an MP3 CD covering around 50 songs. I talked to him a number of times. He is a good harmonica player. I am giving below his telephone numbers. He is a very busy person but just try.<BR/>033-25531009 & cell - 09433386864<BR/>Other than saikat Mukherjee there is another exponent in harmonica. He is Mr gautam chowdhury now lives in Netherlands. He is a desciple of the great salil da . You can listen to his numbers particulary our National anthem which he played by a chord harmonica. He is superb. You can find his recordings in esnips at the identification fmajor7<BR/>His e mail address caug5@yahoo.com<BR/>He is a very good guide. You can clarify any of your doubts regarding harmonica.AARKAY SABNAVEEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431501085090447231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361556871072137934.post-46451158190524363092008-11-24T00:48:00.000-08:002008-11-24T00:48:00.000-08:00Dear Sabnaveesji,Thanks for the informative articl...Dear Sabnaveesji,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the informative article on Late Milon Gupta. During my child hood in 70s i use to hear his songs ininstrumental music program. In fact I read his interview in a hindi weekly Dhramyug where he gave information about different styles of playiong and brands of Harmonica. Even though I was playing a ordinary HERO instrument I was not aware of Honner brand till I read the article and cromatica model with scale changer.

It was extremely inspiring to read about such a genius who was single-handedly responsible for generating so much interest in this pocket-sized instrument in India. Considering the fact that in those days there were absolutely no high tech communication like the internet, telephones, mobiles etc, recording & track facilities that we enjoy today, we realize how much of his devotion and talent must have got him the heights that he reached. We must all salute him for this. I am sure he will continue to inspire millions of Indians for generations to come...<BR/><BR/>In fact, during my college days, when I was studying in IIT Kharagpur, I bought a cassette of Milon Gupta's Harmonica to help my practice. I still keep it with me and play occasionally.Sanath Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07972920240568681504noreply@blogger.com
