Mundharpe Melodier edit / delete

Learn harmonica... in Norwegian! The tune I was looking for was Røros Pols, which can be hammered gently into slip-jig form for use in Scottish/Irish sessions. (Round here, it's called "that tune Breabach play that I don't know the name of".)

C.A. SEYDEL SÖHNE - Handmade in Klingenthal / Germany since 1847 edit / delete

Harmonica makers (of the "we're number two but we try harder" variety). The neat thing is that you can order most of their models in custom tunings for not very much money. I'm tempted to order an A diatonic with a mixture of the "Highlander" and "Paddy Richter" tunings...

Extremely comprehensive harmonica site. I particularly liked the history section with lots of pictures of related instruments, and the collection of early recordings. The FAQ is well worth reading.
