Have you ever put a HARP in your mouth..??Well you think you have..Try this.. Go to the best place you know..put your HARP in you mouth and just let your breath of life intertwine with the brass reeds ..after a while you are listening to your life..in and out..soon you will be captivated with your own sound..let it flow..you have just found inner peace..you have a audiable connection with yourself..search in vain..one will never find a better connection with THE self.. Then play ..let it play ..your HARP does not have to conform..why should it?????the most of us only want to play what has already been written..well learn that by all means..but listen to you soul ..and the connection to your soul is your breath..!!!! Amazing what the HARP can do ..IS it not..???




I was going through a tough divorce..

And was left to sleep in my daughters bedroom..I had brought her a marine band years before which she had never played.. I picked it up and took it to work ..yes ..i could not play it..after a week or two ..it started to get into my soul..so I got a couple of books..and started to mess around.. When my mind went to my problems ..i picked up my harp..soon.. I could play the music book tunes..wow..a 47 year old making music !!! Hells teeth.. I lose the best woman I ever knew..but I gained the best friend one could ever have ..music and the HARP..blow and draw untill you die it makes no difference if you are bad or good ..that little piece of wood..brass..and tin..will give you heaven and hell on earth..play it.. love it..and it will..??? Well we all know the answer to that

Which Harmonica do I need?

TESTIMONIAL
"Thank you for the best harp site on the net. Each time I log on I learn something new. I am a beginning harp player. I struggled around with the books. Now I think I wasted the money. The web is a great place to learn and buy."
Sincerely, Jon Charles, USA

TESTIMONIAL
"I was getting pretty frustrated trying to learn the Harp alone when I came across your web site. I find it very clear and interesting. It's the next best thing to having a private teacher sitting with you!"
