“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
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!

“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.

Wow! What a great product!
The Wah Claw makes the Harp Wah 1000% better… much easier to hold and play.

I WAS an amateur, and now I sound like a professional! (At least I think so)
Thanks for a great addition to an already great idea.

“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.”

“Wicked!”

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

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.

“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.

“Everyone loves it!”

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

I definitely love the Wah Claw!

It’s great! If the Wah was perfect before, now it’s even better!
