  • That appears to be a chromatic mouth organ and not a harmonica or blues "harp". Along with the slide button this instrument has all 12 notes of the western chromatic scale. It is ignificantly harder to play than the more limited selection of notes found on the typical blues harp. Just thought the artist deserved some recognition for that.

  • Your right HarpnJoe. Sorry I got that wrong and yes, it is MUCH harder to play.

  • How Sharp - How Perfect - How Incredible - How Much Impact - How Much Rhythm - How Much Bass - How Much Harp - " Wolf  " Looking Down Said Four Words Only : " You Got It PERFECT " !!!

  • Straight. I was playing a BULLET 520 dont know the year, through a 5F1 tweed champ, just switched harps i think, but no EFFECTS, except wht he put through the board.

  • Thank you sir.

  • Hey B. PEACE.

  • @ThomasDeLello wow thank you I didnt know patton wrote that. Or was it just a passed down traditional?

  • @Floorbird yes sirreeeeee...

  • This is the "Howling Wolf" version.

  • Yes, that would be the late Anthony "Duster" Bennett. One of the UK's finest bluesmen. A masterful one-man band

  • "Bennett Duster" should be Duster Bennett (just thought I'd throw that in)

    ;)

  • That Harmonica has a "Big Room Sound" I love it its great....sounds like a train in the distance coming for us, or leaving us....very dramatic....i wish i could play drums w/ these guys.....get all emotional with them....it would be o so easy to overplay this though
