  • “On tour, I use the Harp Wah… and the new Wah Claw handle makes it even easier to hold.

    It’s just a great muted effect for harmonica! A great invention and a beautiful device!”

    Marko Balland
    France's great
  • Sounds Like a Trumpet Mute…

    “Very much sounds like a trumpet mute… produces very crisp wah-wahs when you want.”

    Ross Macdonald
  • 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
  • Excellent read!!!

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

    John Turnbull
    Musician
  • Loving it.

    He’s very funny and relatable and I feel more confident that even though I don’t understand music, I can still become a great player.

    Ben Ingram
  • I was skeptical … but this is a beast with its own rich tone.

    Definitely a valuable addition to the harp player’s toolkit.
    Nice one Roly!”

    Liam Ward
    UK's Award-winning instructor & founder of LearnTheHarmonica.com
  • “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
  • I highly recommend it.

    Great stories. A fun read with Roly’s dry delivery.
    Hilarious road trip stories but also an insight into a very unique process of learning music and performing by someone who has done it all.
    Get a copy!
    Lance Anderson
    Grammy nominated / multiple Juno award-winning producer, keyboard player
  • “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
  • “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.
