Many keys in stock and ready to ship!

Working Man's Harps was founded in 1998, with the idea that high quality harmonicas should be affordable and accessible. Over the years, as the quality of the instruments has been improved, prices and turnaround times have been increased to reflect the additional time, care and quality of materials that go into every instrument.

Now, returning to the roots that made us the best value available in customized harmonicas, Working Man's Harps is proud to introduce the new Artisan model. Based on the ultimate blues harmonica, Hohner's Marine Band, the Artisan improves the playing experience by removing the hard edges from the comb, sealing it with an FDA-approved sealer, and perfecting the tuning and response. Even more, the Artisan is assembled with precision machine screws, so that it can be disassembled and maintained.

The Artisan is available in all keys from low D through high G, and in many cases ships directly from inventory, so there's no waiting for this delightful playing experience. In the case that something is out of stock, or in an unusual key not in stock, it can usually be delivered in less than two weeks.

For players who still require outstanding response and custom configurations, the established Working Man's Harps models - the T-Bone, the Honeycomb and the Soloist - are still available at a great value.
