This past Saturday I played at the Columbus Harp CLinic. Judd Baker the creator of the Duo Harp was there and gave me one to try out. It is an ingeniously simple device that allows you to hook 2 harps up to a rack. Magnets hold the harps in place. I figured I would push the limit and hooked up a 14 hole MB in C and a 10 hole MB in C. The duo harp held both rock solid. Here is my first attempt using this device in a hohner flex rack. Walter

thanks rbeetsme! I never woodshed with a new thing. I go right to performance. I guess I never have woodshedded.......
I hooked up a low D and regular D MB today. Here are some of the songs. You can do some pretty cool stuff with it. Playing in a rack and being stuck to one harp is drag. This device opens up all kinds of new doors. The only problem I am having is the space between the harps is too narrow and my lips get jammed up. But I got big fat lips and probably need a dang custom model made :-) Walter
anybody out there not crazy? tired in the heart blues how much longer can this system survive?

Having two harps lets you fill in the missing chord--if you are using a C harmonica, there is no F chord for 1st position playing or D7 for 2nd. You can use a second harp to fill in all the missing notes without overbends! Wonder if they have a money back guarantee--that would close the deal for me . . .
