Link to other harmonica pages:

King Biscuit Time page

King Biscuit Time is a radio program broadcasted in USA in old days. This page serves many plays and profiles of famous blues harp players, such as Sonny Boy Williamson II, played in "King Biscuit Time".

King's Harmonica Quintet page

King's Harmonica Quintet is a harmonica quintet in Hong Kong. They play mainly classics, from Haydn to contemporary composers.
In this page, you can get their profiles, sounds, pictures etc. Especially their repertoire list is a good guide for harmonica players trying classics, I think.

Hohner (USA) homepage

Hohner is the most famous harmonica manufacturer. The page includes pictures of Hohner harmonicas, the history of harmonica.

Please tell me how do you think about my homepage
