  • Hilarious stories… keep it an entertaining read!

    Whether you are just a music fan, new to playing or a long time student of the harmonica, Roly shares the challenges and joys of discovery in music practice and performing with this portable pocket instrument we love to play. Lots of funny and insightful observations whether on or off stage, in the recording studio, and often hilarious stories from life on the road always keep it an entertaining read.

    Carlos del Junco
    Internationally honoured harmonica master
  • “Everyone loves it!”

    “In my Intermediate Harmonica Course at Niagara College, I include the Harp Wah as part of my gear seminar.”

     

    Max Hillier
    Music Instructor - Niagara College
  • “Yes!!!! The Wah Claw handle makes it even better!”

    “It’s cool. The Harp Wah has it’s own thing – a different sound than using a tradition cup.”

    Jason Ricci
    Ground-breaking US harp great
  • “This is THE sound I’ve been looking for in a cup style wah.”

    I just received my Harp Wah, and I already love it!

    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
    US Top Gospel/Country/Blues
  • “Wicked!”

    “The Harp Wah is a cool, expressive tool for acoustic harp players, with a learning curve near zero.”

    Richard Hunter
    Best-Selling Harmonica Method Author – US Session Player
  • Excellent read!!!

    Roly has mastered the art of story telling and telling the life of a travelling Harmonica musician.

    John Turnbull
    Musician
  • “Your Workshops… so worth the money”

    I just want to say again how very much I enjoyed the workshop – so worth the money, and time so well spent!

    Bruce Jenett
  • “It’s just perfect. Fantastic sound and very expressive!”

    It’s the best wah sound effect I’ve ever tried – beautifully designed and easy to hold in your hand.

    Mathieu Pequeriau (The Celtic Social Club)
    Harmonica Player: The Celtic Social Club (France)
  • “Best harmonica innovation in a long time.

    It takes harp “muting” possibilities to a new level. Thanks, Roly!”

    Richard Gjems
    Richard is a leading Norwegian harmonica player, writer & historian
  • No, Seriously, I Play Harmonica…

    “Highly entertaining stuff!”
