In Reply to: history of harmonica as a wind instrument? posted by Chris on July 15, 2000 at 22:13:28:
: I need infformation on the creation and development of the harmonica as a wind instrument, for a school report. Any help is appreciated.
if you have time checkout the book Harmonica Americana by Jon "Doc" Gindick.
The earliest precursor to the harmonica was called the Sheng "reputed to have been invented by Chinese Empress Nyu-kwa back in three thousand BC" (Gindick.(1995) p.17)
