Here's Will Wilde at the 2018 SPAH convention checking out the
Harmonicaster Mk II electric harmonica, playing on the clean channel of
a Crate Vintage Club 20 amp. Earlier he was playing it in the lobby with
my little 3 watt Blackstar Fly and quickly drew a crowd with folks who
were impressed by the tone and the idea in general. While the original
Harmonicaster was a significant new tool for harp players, it was
flawed. Working with Will. Brendan Power, and the nice folks at Seydel,
I've made major revisions that make it a much more responsive and
playable instrument. I've eliminated the mouthpiece and now you play
directly into the harmonica, so all conventional draw and blow bends are
possible, as is overblowing, if you have the skill. The Mk II is also
lighter and more compact than the original.
