HUNTING FOR HARMONICAS

 

Here’s a follow-up to our previous posts on the history of the harmonica in Australia. Ray Grieve, author of A Band in a Waistcoat Pocket  and related works, tells of the quest for the fabled Hohner Chromatically Tuned Up-To-Date Harmonica and his encounter with Hohner’s first representative in Australia, Kurt Jacob.
