The Jazz Legend
Being one of the greatest Jazz harmonica players of the 20th century, 
and an influence to countless artists, it was always clear that one instrument 
alone wouldn’t pay justice to the incredible Toots Thielemans. So we made two. 
This second instrument is also designed specifically to Toots’s specifications. 
Thick reed plates and long slot reeds give the Hard Bopper a rich, voluminous sound and incredibly 
fast single reed response, making it perfect for fast-paced, rocking styles.

Special thick and coated reed plates

The thick reed plates promise a rich, voluminous sound 
and an incredibly fast response

Wooden comb
The wooden comb ensures a warm, rich sound 
and is lacquered to eliminate swelling

Special cover plates
The cover plates are embossed with 
Toots’ signature and a serial number

Chrome-plated mouthpiece
Outstanding sliding properties thanks to
the chrome plating

The One and Only Blues Harp
The name evokes the typical blues sound. It is a metaphor for whiskey bars, 
juke joints, and good times; synonymous with wide plains, open fields, 
and pilgrimage: The Blues Harp®. For over 50 years, the harmonica has shaped
the sound of blues, rock, and sometimes even folk. 
The Blues Harp® is designed for this specific blues sound, but thanks 
to the modular system it can easily be adjusted and changed to anything 
you want it to be – easy, quickly, at any time. 
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, the Blues Harp® is the harp 
for you.

for many possible combinations that suit your playing style
