Handcrafted in Trossingen, Germany, this 10-hole diatonic harmonica honours the legacy of Sonny Terry, one of the most original blues harmonica players in history. The instrument pays tribute to the harps Terry used to create his distinctive sound, featuring custom engraved cover plates and an orange/black lacquered pear wood comb that sets it apart from standard models. This is a diatonic harp designed to capture the expressive, soulful character that made Terry's playing legendary.
The pear wood comb brings warmth and resonance to the tone, while the lacquered finish protects the timber and ensures long–term stability. Custom engraving on the cover plates references Terry's iconic status in blues music. The 10-hole configuration follows the classic diatonic layout that defined his approach to the instrument, allowing players to explore the bends, wails, and vocal–like phrasing that characterised his technique.
