You may have thought that playing into a “cup” or “mug” for effect was more of a “demonstrative” thing. Very cool but not much use beyond that…
Consider this… the “cup mute” effect could be used in the same way a trumpet player uses a trumpet mute – in the right place, it would be a great effect to have.
I wanted a professional solution that:
✔ Had great tone
✔ Was convenient to use – just pick up and play
✔ Allows you to play more freely
✔ Aims the sound directly forward
✔ Looks Pro
The Harp Wah was the result.
Features / Benefits:
- Fully forward-facing design aims the sound directly out from you and into your mic
- An extension of your regular hand cupping position – feels more natural – minimal effect on your playing style
- Shape focuses the sound into narrow, controllable field
- Anodized polished aluminum – rock-hard, extremely durable finish – inside and out
- Lightweight and durable, for a lifetime of road-worthy abuse
- Universal shape and size accommodates a wide range of harp players
- For left or right-handed players.
I tried the old-school “playing into a cup” technique but I always found it awkward – especially when trying to aim the sound into a mic. It also limited my playing style – I wanted to play the way I normally do. I could never get fully comfortable with it.

A great investment!
It (the Harp Wah) arrived this morning and it is brilliant, everything promised and more. It adds a lovely tone to the playing, much better than cupped hands. I would certainly recommend everyone to get one, a great investment.

What a Wonderful Adaptation!
I always wanted to find a way to get the “wah” sound with a mug but got discouraged. This really makes it easy. Thank you!

I’m just a beginner… but it brings such a new color palette and expressiveness.
Such a nice and well built product. Wow! And the sound!! Hell, I’m just a beginner but it brings such a new color palette and expressiveness to the sound. Can’t really cup well with my hands – but with your mute, it’s so easy.
