The humble harmonica may be one of the most modest of instruments, but its influence spans history and genres in a way that belies its size and simplicity. Developed in 19th century Europe, the Harmonica has its roots in other common, Free-reed instruments like the Chinese sheng and was initially used for playing classical music.
After finding its way to the US the harmonica became a core element in American roots music - blues, country and eventually folk music, with popular artists like Bob Dylan being an avid user. At Mannys we stock a wide range of Harmonica styles, to suit many styles and budgets.
