“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!”

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.Malin Dolinger

“… 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”

Loving it.
He’s very funny and relatable and I feel more confident that even though I don’t understand music, I can still become a great player.

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.

Hilarious stories… keep it an entertaining read!
Whether you are just a music fan, new to playing or a long time student of the harmonica, Roly shares the challenges and joys of discovery in music practice and performing with this portable pocket instrument we love to play. Lots of funny and insightful observations whether on or off stage, in the recording studio, and often hilarious stories from life on the road always keep it an entertaining read.
