The Better Cup Mute
The Harp Wah™ by Roly Platt
“Until now, the only way to get resonator “cup mute” effects was to raid the kitchen cabinets for cups, mugs or used tin cans.
I wanted something better.”

 

Technical Considerations
  • The Harp Wah was specifically made for acoustic diatonic harmonica playing.
  • The design and “input slot” width will accommodate any standard diatonic model with a total cover height (thickness) of less than 23mm – all major brands tested fall well within this slot width and include standard models from: Hohner, Seydel, Suzuki, Lee Oscar. 12, 13, and 14 hole harps will work, but will have limitations. It is best used witha 10 hole diatonic.
  • Thicker harps: Even the overly thick models such as Seydel’s “Low Low” tunings with their wider cover plates work using a slightly modified grip.
Playing Style/Grip
  • The Harp Wah can be used by left or right-handed players but is not generally recommended for players who play with the low notes towards your fingertips (as opposed to the typical way – low notes towards the palm).
  • The Harp Wah™ was designed to work with what I call the “classic grip” hand positioning – with the harp held between the index finger and thumb. It may also work for players with an alternative grip, but please keep this in mind.
  • Customized harps and harps with customized covers will also work.
  • As with using any new device, some adaptation and practice is suggested to maximize the all available tones and effects of the Harp Wah.

Who Was This Designed to Help?

  • Players looking for that “extra support” holding the Harp Wah
  • Players with smaller hands: All players including female and younger players
  • Players having difficulty due to Arthritic pain in their hands
