OctaHarp
The OctaHarpis an innovative harmonica designed by Brendan Power, featuring a 3D-printed front piece that brings something truly unique to the world of harmonicas. It combines two diatonic harmonicas tuned an octave apartinto one compact instrument, delivering a rich, powerful double-reed octave soundin a much smaller form than traditional octave harps. One of the standout features of the OctaHarp is its standard diatonic hole spacing, making it instantly familiar and comfortable for players used to 10-hole harps. This is a key difference from most other octave-tuned harmonicas, which typically use chromatic-style spacing, requiring a bigger stretch and different technique. The OctaHarp is available in both Seydeland Hohnerversions. Our personal preference is the Seydel model, as it offers better value, more key options, and overall improved playability.
