• Designed and Assembled in Idaho, USA

• Harmo proprietary new harmonica cover design by David Herzhaft

• Quality checked and manually fine-tuned in Eagle, Idaho

• High-end professional harmonica quality

• CNC-milled harmonica comb and covers*

Custom harmonica designed and assembled in the USA.

1) Select a comb material for your Custom harmonica:

• Acrylic: A good go-to comb durable with a nice round sound.
  
  
• Aluminum: Anodized aluminum is also available in a brushed (matte) finish. Fantastic look and pure sound.
  
  
• Brass: Very heavy, deeper, and rounder tone with impressive resonance. Electro-nickel plated finish.
  
  
• Wood: Maple or Walnut. Light and loud, Organic feel and sound. Add your text on the back (optional) for an even more customized harmonica. 

2) Choose your cover type and material:

• Aluminum: Anodized aluminum mix and match your comb color. New cover design by David Herzhaft with no gaps on the sides for optimum air-tightness, thicker cover material, and Wave shape for maximum Projection.
  
  
• Brass: Same as Aluminum but electro-nickel plated. Brass is very heavy compared to aluminum so it's a good way to go if you're looking for a deeper tone, more resonance, and something heavier to hold.
  
  
• Wood: New cover design by David Herzhaft this shape differs from Aluminum and brass covers. No air gap on the sides for maximum air-tightness, fantastic sound, and tone. The round shape of the mouthpiece to make it as smooth as possible.

3) Pick a Reed setup:

• Classic harmonica: This is recommended for beginners and intermediate players and for players of all levels who mostly play Folk and Blues. We do a classic manual reed adjustment in our US workshop to optimize the reed response in typical playing situations.

• Ultimate harmonica: This setup involves several additional steps of manual reedwork done in our US workshop that make the harmonica more airtight, more responsive, and fully optimized for overblows. This setup is recommended for any style of music: Jazz, Blues, Country, Classical, Folk, Reggae, Funk, and Rock … mostly for advanced and pro players who will no doubt enjoy the extra manual individual reed fine-tuning.

4) Select a Tuning: Standard Richter (recommended for most uses)

Or one of Harmo's special tunings:

• Super country Harmo proprietary tuning for Bluegrass, Country, and Celtic music.
  
  
• Natural minor tuning (2nd position): For Blues, Jazz, R&B, and Reggae minor melodies.
  
  
• Harmonic minor (1st position): For Classical, Tango, Oriental, Jazz, Eastern Europe, and Gyspy music.
  
  
• Paddy Richter (1st position): For Celtic, Irish music and easy Major scale in the low register.
  
  
• Half Valved: Standard tuning with valves to allow more bends in the low and high register (overblows are not possible because of valves).

5) Pick a Key:

Standard tuning is available in C Db D Eb E F F# G Ab A Bb B and Low F.

Other tunings will display available options to choose from.

6) If you selected a wood comb, you also have the option to laser your custom text on the back of the comb.

7) Review your selection and add it to the cart.

We use the best material and manufacturing process available for our Custom shop harmonicas to offer you the best quality harp and a unique design. Our comb is CNC milled, and we use quality phosphore bronze reeds that are loud and very responsive. The covers use a proprietary design created by David Herzhaft.

The shape and thickness of the covers are much better than standard harmonicas because our covers allow no air to escape on the side and focus all the sound toward the audience. The specific shape is optimized for better projection and the thickness of the harmonica cover offers a richer tone.
