Harmonica Neck Holder (#HH01) – quality holder fits comfortably around your neck freeing your hands and arms for other uses. Locks in place at any distance from your mouth. Holds standard 10-hole diatonic models firmly in place. One size fits all.
Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Donovan and plenty of other artists have made use of the harmonica holder for quickly switching between vocal and harp accompaniment on their tunes. This quality holder from Hohner fits comfortably around your neck, freeing your hands and arms for other uses, so you can follow suit.
The Hohner HH01
Using a harmonica holder leaves your hands free to play a guitar or other musical instrument at the same time as a harmonica. The HH01 harmonica holder is designed for use with most 10-hole model harmonicas, making it smaller and lighter weight than some other models, but it still offers a rubberized neck brace and sturdy frame. Double wing nuts are used to lock it in playing position–throw in your harp and you’re ready to go. One size fits all, and the device easily locks in place at any distance from your mouth.

In case you’re wondering about the difference between this Hohner harmonica holder and the Hohners costing more than twice this one’s price, this one is made in China while the others are made in Germany. Now, I’m definitely not one of those who automatically dismiss the quality of Chinese made products. I have, in fact, many musical items of surprisingly good quality made there. This item however has some of the good, AND some of the more stereotypical problems of Chinese goods. Pros: Cheap. Sturdy. And unlike some reviewers, I love the taller height. Far far better for you ergonomically not having to stoop and scrunch your neck and windpipe. I also like the tighter springs, though that does take a little getting used to. But the secure feel of your harp is worth the slight extra effort. Now, the Cons: It’s true what others have said: the plastic neck tube smells. Not as bad as some have said, but an annoying chemical smell is definitely noticeable. I cut that off and got a big wide replacement tube at TAP Plastics for a buck (make sure the one you get is wide enough to slide over the bends in the neck loop bar thingee – I got the 1/2″ diameter). 2nd and perhaps bigger problem is that the metal is NOT bent evenly. Mine was distinctly taller on one side than the other, and the neck loop was WAY off. I did my best to bend all parts to even, but the flat metal part is tough to shape. The reason I didn’t return it is that I figure most of them are equally uneven: I just picture a bunch of poor souls slaving away bending these suckers by hand, with little or no machine help to ensure consistency. With the work I did on it myself, it works fine and is now fairly even, and like I said, the taller height is just about right for me. It’s just annoying that some of the most basic expectations aren’t met (like holding your harmonica at an even height on both sides). All this said, the bottom line is that I prefer using this OVER my German made Hohner holder because it’s better ergonomically (taller), holds my harp more securely, and the traditional dual butterfly nut design just works far better and with less effort than the “nouveau” single butterfly nut design of my more expensive German Hohner. Knowing what I know of its drawbacks, I’m still tempted to pick up another as a back-up or spare. It’s a great deal if you’re willing to do a little work on it.

![]() Best harmonica holder by a landslide!!!, By
I 1st got the original hohner harp holder. It was way too big and the angle of the harp made it hard to bend the draw notes. It being too big made it get in the way when I’d try to sing in between harp playing. Rarely does anybody use anything bigger than the standard 10 hole harp when using a harp holder so the extra width is a waste. This one was perfect. It sat a little high but I just undid the wingnuts flip the neck piece over replaced the wingnuts and presto it lines up perfectly to my mouth and the angle is perfect for bending draw notes.
I always wondered why people using harp holders rarely bent notes but you can bend notes all day with this bad boy. Plus it looks alot less goofy than the big ones. I have researched every harp holder out there and nothing comes close to this one. In my opinion it should be the new industry standard. Great job Hohner dont change this one a bit unless you wanna flip the neck piece over. Maybe I just gotta short neck. Or they could make different colors maybe. If you mainly use 10 hole harps you will not be disappointed this product. Order more Amazon!!! Shipping was very prompt. I am 100% satisfied Jason Anthonisen 0
