Canadian postal workers have elected to go on strike, effective November 15th. During this disruption we will be using alternate methods for shipping in Canada but will still be using Canada Post rates at checkout. Just opt for 'Regular' shipping to get your rate for domestic shipping - note that rates have been slightly adjusted to reflect the increased costs. If you currently have a PO box as your shipping address, we will need a street address for courier deliveries. Unfortunately, international orders will be delayed until the postal strike is resolved. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

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
