A curious fool for the harp

<A new-style harmonica designed and marketed by a North-East company is 
set to breathe fresh life into the historic instrument.

Tribal Planet from Birtley, led by business partners David Wright and 
Philip Sutcliffe, expects to secure at least 5% of the world market - 
over Â1m turnover - inside three years.

The company says its Planetone harmonicas, made in China, will 
revolutionise the market like James Dyson did with the vacuum cleaner.

Tribal Planet say the new instrument represents the first thorough 
re-design of the harmonica in 100 years, and will capture sales from 
market leader Hohner.

Mr Wright and Mr Sutcliffe, who have both worked for Hohner in the 
past, have spent three years developing their new style of instrument 
with legendary harmonica player Johnny Mars.>
