Depends on what you mean by "electric harmonica"  There is, I think, a wind
controller-harmonica-like  thing...called The
Milioniser....,.http://www.millioniser.com/
My teacher has one, probably doesn't use it much, probably never.  I suspect
it just allows the harmonica player to  trigger MIDI sounds from an external
synth, I'm not sure.

Here's a neat video.

Are they playing different keyed harps, or just playing in different
positions to achieve the harmony?

   Loved David's bluegrass vid and love hearing the harp in the mix with a
bunch of other instruments.  Here's one I've been enjoying lately with the
harmonica as part of an octet:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpkLzJg2524.

Hi, Lauren.

Fully electric harmonicas, in the sense of an electric guitar or an
electronic keyboard, are not at all common.

However, harmonica players commonly play amplified harmonica, which is
analogous to playing an electric guitar. They do this by enclosing their
hands around both an everyday harmonica and a microphone, which they hold
near the back openings on the harmonica. To concentrate the sound into the
microphone, they try to seal the harmonica and microphone together so that
no sound escapes. They then feed the microphone signal into an amplifier,
possible with some special effects added first, similar to what electric
guitar players use.

Amplified playing, even without added effects, sounds different from
acoustic playing.  Cupping the harmonica close to the microphone emphasizes
the lower and middle part of the sound spectrum, and eliminates the "air"
sound of hearing the harmonica resounding in an acoustic space, along with
reducing the ability of the player to shape the harmonica's sound with their
hands. 

In the early days of amplified playing (1950-ish) amplifiers were small and
players would turn them up high to be heard over crowd noise. This, together
with the concentrated sound of cupping, pushed the amplifiers beyond their
ability to cleanly reproduce sound, and drove them into distortion. Both
harmonica players and guitarists immediately began cultivating the unique
sounds created by distortion, which helped create the signature sound of
amplified harmonica playing.

In reent decades, some inventors have come up with synthesizers that are
played like a harmonica - in essence the harmonica becomes a user interface
(or metaphor) that allows the player to operate the synth. The Millioniser
was perhaps the most famous of these, even though the "interface" resembled
a toaster more than a harmonica. Richard Smith in the UK came up with
harmonicas that had sound pickups embedded in the body of the insturment,
and a jack to connect a cable to an amplifier. Jim Antaki

Hi,

I, first of all, want to wish everyone a happy new year.  I have been
enjoying the music you have sent to this list. I also have been playing
around with YouTube, listening to some different types of harmonica playing.
And the question came up, is there such a thing as an electric harp? I
discovered that there is. So now I'd like to learn from listers the pros and
cons of acoustic
 harmonica versus electric harmonica? I imagine there is
quite an expense for an electric one. 

Thanks

Lauren the listener who wants to become a player

Sounds to me like they are both playing regular A harps in 2nd position...
Buddy, switches to an E in 1st very briefly when Charlie mentions Jimmy
Reed's harp playing.

I have a barely used Lone Wolf Harp Break pedal for sale.  Used it on
maybe 5 gigs, great condition.  Only difference from out-of-the-box is
some pedal board Velcro on the back.  $110 plus shipping(will ship
from upstate NY or Brooklyn).  Please email me off-list.
