Are there any flat ones that glow in the dark - or a marker that glows in the dark? I would prefer to label the harp on the low end rather than the high. My custom case from Slim is even cut that way.
I love the idea of the glow in the dark from Turbo harp, but I don't think I want the bump against my left hand.
Currently, I use either no labels or have used the small Seydel before. I run into two issues, cleaning a Special 20 in the Ultrasonic cleaner, which is hard on stickers.
At any rate, I have a silver sharpie I can use, but thought an easy glow in the dark option would be cool too. Thanks!

Those are pretty cool! I see they have the Seven Harp folding case for $30 and free shipping. Good price. I got my two cases for $20 apiece and they're great other than GMs are too big for them.
Oh, never mind about those cases. RockinRonsMusic4less has them for $17.25. He's getting Hohner Rockets in Feb too.
yeah,I like those stickers!

I think TurboHarp has glow stickers for sale as well.

Hawkeye, they do, for $6. Their site is fun. I've got one of their magnetic Turboslide harps, and one of their neat Turbolids. (The Turbolids, sadly, don't fit on harps with custom combs- they require the extra width of the recessed comb.)

Sorry, they had a couple different kinds and I thought he'd missed some flat ones, but it looks like I was looking at it wrong.
Another option my be glow in the dark paint. I imagine with some stencils you could make them both more customized and cheaper. You'd have to check to make sure the paints were safe, but a quick Google shows lots of options.

So....labels come off when you use an ultrasonic cleaner? I have Seydel Noble key stickers on all my harps , and want to get an ultrasonic cleaner......will it 'clean' them off? ( some I have 'nail polished' on).........

I've never used any labels on my harmonicas. No need. Whether I'm using my Hohner case that holds 7 or 12 harps, I know the key by where it is located in the case. Anyone else use this method?

dude61..
This leads me to one of my musician's pranks.
Get access to a few harmonicas from this case and quickly swap out a few upper cover plates.
Then watch the fun,

I like labels because I don't have to keep track of what I have at hand.
I organize my harps by the circle of 5ths, but I don't always bring all 12 keys. So my set of 7, let's say, may not always be the same seven.
In addition, I tend to use the same make/model in sets...and while playing, I might mix up the harps, or switch during song.
Mostly, though, it looks cool, espcially if they glow, lol.

Mike....a while back I wrote TurboHarp and asked if they'd just sell me the battery powered blacklight that they mount in their custom cases. They were very agreeable to it. I think I got it for like $20 or something. Check and see if they'd do the same for you, and you could keep the blacklight next to your harps so they always glow brightly. Looks awesome!

I use glow in the dark paints from Hobby Lobby. There's translucent glow in the dark stuff that I mix with white hobby paint. I've had the same little 2-3 ounce bottles for probably ten years, and they're still fine. I use + for sharps, and - for flats. Non-harpers think I'm some kind of harp zen master. They're always fascinated by stuff like spare volume knobs and spare tubes, 'n' harp tools. It's like, "What the hey... I didn't know you need all that stuff just to play harmonica." Pretty funny.
