Hohner Specialist Tremolo Harmonica - 5980 Highlander Double-Sided - A/D (103042-HT)   STATUS - NOW AVAILABLE - Click here to purchase from our eBay store - Email or Phone to Order
Double-sided Wender-style tremolo harmonica from Hohner in attractively decorated tartan display and carrying box. Specialised 'Highlander' tuning assists playing of traditional Scottish tunes. If you're used to standard tremolo tuning it takes a bit of getting used to at first but after about half an hour of practice I found it easier to play my favourite Scottish Jig, 'Athol Highlanders' on this tuning - Dane

Now you can play bagpipe music on the harmonica!

We have developed this attractive tremolo harmonica specially for playing (Scottish) highland bagpipe music. We have rearranged the tones on the A side, to the myxolydian [sic] scale, but left the standard tone sequence on the D major side, so you can now play many highland bagpipe melodies with ease.The wood body is coated with a special dark green lacquer, making it very sturdy. Its classic, robust cardboard case has a highly attractive decorative motif. The Highlander harmonica, with its stainless steel cover plates, is perfect for giving voice to your favourite bagpipe tunes!

About the Tester
Dane is a professional systems engineer, academic and musician who has played harmonica for over forty years. He currently sings and plays harmonica, mandolin, mandola etc. with a celtic/folk/blues band, Headland and a celtic/gypsy band, The Gypsy Tarts. Dane has researched and practiced instrument maintenance, repair and tuning in earnest for the last six years or so (since retiring from full-time professional work), and during this time has often been privileged to meet and learn from some of Australia's premier artists and technicians. On the qualifications side of things, Dane has undergraduate degrees in Engineering and Business, and post-graduate qualifications in Information Technology and Education. He works as a part-time engineer and academic these days, and though he loves teaching computer engineering he enjoys himself much more when working on instruments and playing music!
