HarmonicaUK
Previously know as The National Harmonica
League, Harmonica UK is the overarching
charitable organization for the instrument in the
UK, although it does boast members from all
four corners of the World.
Whether you’ve been playing the harmonica
for a long time, or you’ve just picked one up,
HarmonicaUK offers something for everyone.
Providing a forum for players, teachers, music
therapists, collectors, harmonica repairers,
manufacturers, and retailers alike.
Where can you
go to learn
about the
Harmonica,
meet like
minded people
and help in
protecting the
future of this
worthwhile
and interesting
instrument?
Although the bulk of the membership plays the
Diatonic harmonica, although there is also a vibrant
following for the Chromatic Harmonica too, the
organization also covers the lesser known Tremolo,
Orchestral, Bass or Chord harmonicas.
In fact if it’s about the harmonica, new or old,
HarmonicaUK just about covers all the bases.
Up until recently most new members have probably
stumbled across HarmonicaUK by pure accident. For
some time its been the ‘Best kept secret’ amongst
harmonica enthusiast and players. But recently
there has been a concerted campaign to evangelise
the benefits of the instrument to a new, younger
audience. At the time of writing this RT understands
that there are exciting projects in the pipeline that will
move the organisation towards a new audience.
