Dipping into my email backlog again. Flickr user emailed me back in February to tell me about his fabulous collection of rare and unusual harmonicas. Definitely worth a browse during your next tea break.

New Hohner Harmonicas for 2007
I stopped by the Hohner website yesterday and found that this year is their 150th anniversary.
To celebrate they are selling some very rare gold and chrome harmonicas, and these ones for the common collector.
Possibly of more interest though is the Highlander.
We have developed this attractive tremolo harmonica specially for playing (Scottish) highland bagpipe music. We have rearranged the tones on the A side, to the myxolydian scale, but left the standard tone sequence on the D major side, so you can now play many highland bagpipe melodies with ease.
The flagship for me though is a new addition to their historic reissue series. This is the Echobell, a replica of a 1920s model.
I was also intrigued by this one known as the "O Fado Portuguez".

Strauss Loudspeaker Harmonica
Harmonica's with horns are always noteworthy, and when this one came up for auction complete with box and instructions it soon reached £200.
