Using a harmonica holder

Harmonica holders (also called racks), like the On-Stage Stands IHH1020, provide hands-free playing and are essential for solo acoustic performances. Keeping sufficient pressure between your mouth and the harmonica is vital, as bad positioning will kill your articulation and tone. To start with, position your harp holder so that the 4-hole is directly under your nose. Then play a few notes. Be sure that you can comfortably reach all the notes you use without cranking your neck. Once you're satisfied with that, loosen the rack's wing nuts and move your harmonica so it's close enough to reach with your mouth without straining, but far enough that you can turn away and sing. Tighten the wing nuts, and you're good to go!

Classic, Can Modify

This, to all appearance, is the rack design, sold by Hohner since the 1960's. Reading the "pitch" description - I, for one, DON'T WANNA' "look like Neil Young", nor Bob Dylan, since neither of them can ACTUALLY PLAY, worth a darn **... (Blowing in-out, in-out, over 3 note-holes, doesn't constitute "playing" harmonica.)
I never criticize, if I can't do better, myself...
I began paying-gigs, as vocalist, then practiced "Blues Harp" (Marine Band) the required "10,000 hours", back when they sold for $5, and Hohner would "rebuild" (replace) them, for small fee, if you sent them back to Hicksville (seriously) New York... (Out on Long Island.)
I learned guitar - basics, because I wanted to learn the key-transpose to jam with harmonica (F-Harp, for "Blues in C", etc...)
This harp holder - rack - will do perfectly well, except for some harps that may have rounded side-plates, or perhaps some new, slippery - Teflon (tm) kinda finish.
I did find it necessary to make some minor modifications. Specifically - so the harp would meet my mouth straight-on (not at angle), I made a small bend, UPWARD, low on the neck-loop (near wing-nuts) on both sides.
(1) Because I play harp precisely, sometimes HARD, that bend made the rack contact my collar-bone, then provided good "embouchure", to meet my mouth straight-on. (See the more-expensive models, have curved-metal frames, for the same reason...)
(2) With the rack thus modified, and my playing sometimes VIGOROUSLY, the wing nuts need to stay tight - not back off. Tightening wing nuts every 3 min. was a nuisance. I happened to be a welder as "day job", so I put a simple "tack-weld", to inside - securing the bolts to the inside of frame. If you don't have access, to weld, or braze, or solder that bolt - do a good job with well-mixed epoxy "weld" glue, and that should hold...
This simple, inexpensive "rack" is good enough for many pros. The modifications I made can be seen in re-design of the more-expensive, curved, angled, or padded models.
The MOST IMPORTANT factor of all, well-known to most PRO musicians... is that "10,000 hours of practice", required ("wood-shedding") to become truly proficient, on ANY instrument.
My best wishes to all, any age, any level of performer.
