POWER HARPS

As a player and customiser of both chromatic and diatonic harmonicas, I like to mix the best features 
of both types in my own harps. For over 30 years I have been constantly tweaking the components
to improve performance, or give some new functionality. This has given me a lot of experience with 
altered tunings, combining parts from different brands, half-valving, and many other aspects.

From 2000-2006 I sold a wide selection of custom chromatic and diatonic harps incorporating the 
best fruits of my experiments. However, since 2007 I have had a job working for Suzuki Musical Instruments Co. 
as their International Harmonica Specialist. It places demands on my time, so I stopped making custom harps.

I'm still supplying the retuned diatonic and chromatic harmonicas that go with my "Play Irish Music on the Blues Harp"
and "Play Irish Music on the Chromatic" packages, but not making any other custom harmonicas at this time.

Below are photos of  a few of the many types of custom Power Harps I made from 2000 to 2006.

CX10 with Internal Metal Resonators and Slide Hook. A Responsive Blues Chromatic.


My Custom "Stretch Harps": 12 and 14 Hole models with the same hole 
spacing as a standard 10 hole diatonic. At last, a comfortable long diatonic.
