It’s the best wah sound effect I’ve ever tried – beautifully designed and easy to hold in your hand.

I’m just a beginner… but it brings such a new color palette and expressiveness.
Such a nice and well built product. Wow! And the sound!! Hell, I’m just a beginner but it brings such a new color palette and expressiveness to the sound. Can’t really cup well with my hands – but with your mute, it’s so easy.

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!” -
“Great read!”
“… a very enjoyable book of entertaining reminiscences mixed with words of wisdom about musicianship, gleaned from his long experience playing all over Canada and beyond with legendary names like Ronnie Hawkins and Jeff Healey”
