    Description

    NOTE: The Handle comes installed on the Harp Wah.
    The Wah Claw Was Designed to Help:
    Players looking for that “extra support” holding the Harp Wah
    Players with smaller hands: All players including female and younger players
    Players having difficulty due to Arthritic pain in their hands
    Until now, the only way to get resonator “cup mute” effects was to raid the kitchen cabinets for cups, mugs or used tin cans.
    I wanted something better.
    Features:
    Fully forward-facing design aims the sound directly out from you and into your mic
    The Harp Wah™ becomes an extension of your regular hand cupping position – making it feel natural, with minimal effect on your playing style
    Convenient to use – non-attaching
    Shape focuses the sound into narrow, controllable field
    Anodized polished aluminum – creating a safe, rock-hard and extremely durable finish – inside and out
    Light weight and durable, for a lifetime of road-worthy abuse
    Universal shape and gender-neutral size accommodates a wide range of harp players
    For left or right-handed players
    High-quality protective drawstring bag
    And of course, it sounds killer
    Is the Harp Wah right for you?
    The Harp Wah has been carefully designed to work for most diatonic players. Please read these technical considerations to ensure the best results.
    Technical considerations
    The Harp Wah was specifically made for acoustic diatonic harmonica playing.
    The design and “input slot” width will accommodate any standard diatonic model, (including 12, 13, 14 hole models) with a total cover height (thickness) of less than 23mm – all major brands tested fall well within this slot width and include standard models from: Hohner, Seydel, Suzuki, Lee Oskar.
    Thicker harps: Even the overly thick models such as Seydel’s “Low Low” tunings with their wider cover plates work using a slightly modified grip.
    Higher notes on a 12, 13 or 14 hole model will extend beyond the Harp Wah’s slot length – but the most important holes 1-6 work great.
    The higher notes (above holes 1-6) on any harp are not as “affected” as the lower notes by the nature of the higher frequency, less resonating reeds.
    Playing Style/Grip
    The Harp Wah can be used by left or right-handed players but is not generally recommended for players who play with the low notes towards your fingertips (as opposed to the typical way – low notes towards the palm).
    The Harp Wah™ was designed to work with what I call the “classic grip” hand positioning – with the harp held between the index finger and thumb. It may also work for players with an alternative grip, but please keep this in mind.
    Customized harps and harps with customized covers will also work.
    As with using any new device, some adaptation and practice is suggested to maximize the all available tones and effects of the Harp Wah.
