HAND CRAFTED IN GERMANY
The Big River Harp is a Diatonic harmonica built in Germany to the highest standards with excellent response and superb tonal characteristics. Built according to the Richter-system, the Big River Harp is a single tone instrument, recognised by the undivided air channels.
Single tone instruments such as the Big River Harp are often referred to as “Blues Harps” due to the ease with which they work as melody instruments for blues, rock, country and folk. The fact that they are single note instruments allows bending and overblowing of certain notes in order to create the typical, howling blues sound as well as the missing chromatic notes.
