Pro Player Demos & Reviews

“The Harp Wah, it’s cool … sounds like a trumpet mute.“

– Ronnie Shellist

“The Harp Wah has it’s own thing – a different sound than a tradition cup. It’s cool…
and YES!!!! The Wah Claw handle makes it even better!”

– Jason Ricci

“I LOVE the sound of the low tuned harps in the Harp Wah; gives me that deep, trombone like sound and completely changed how you phrase over slow swinging backing tracks like this one. Thanks Roly!”

– Shane Eli Sager

“On my first outing with the Harp Wah, it received a great reception. People compared it to a trumpet mute and they loved the sound. I wholeheartedly recommend the Harp Wah. It sounds great, it looks good, it provides a different sound and it doesn’t cost a lot of money.”

– Harmonica World Magazine – Neil Warren

“The Harp Wah (compared to a “Cup”), works better when trying to play into a microphone and is easier for players…”

– Marcin Dyjak

“Love it! This is THE sound I’ve been looking for in a cup style wah. It’s waaaay more comfortable to use than a coffee or tea cup, plus it’s much easier to direct the sound into a mic. I look forward to recording with it.”

– Todd Parrott
