Harmonica Heroes #3: Joe Spiers - Custom Harmonicas

"Harmonica Heroes" is a series of videos featuring those in the harmonica community who have made a significant, positive impact on my life as a harmonica player.

This video focuses on the amazing work of Joe Spiers, who simply builds the best custom harmonicas in the world. His work has positively impacted me more than anyone else in the harmonicas community, as his harps have allowed me to reach new levels in my playing.

Great topic by the way, is a sincere truth that every player has a musical hereo, and the best is when you get to understand what they do and appreiciate their work better than anyone else.

Wow Todd! You were great when I saw you at 2010 SPAH but you've taken it up another notch at least....especially in the higher register. The intro and outro stuff...going to be a must have album for us harp lovers.

[Bobyslav]

crazy tunes man! what a teaser :) can't wait for the finished album!

And thanks so much for your inspireing videos!

I know how much it changed my playing when I first learned to customise my GMs, I can only imagine what a Spiers harp would do for me. And I'm sure to get some nice combs as soon as I get some steady income cause those stock ones are just tools for self infliction :D

Again, I find your music even more inspireing than the harps. Resoect.
