    Description

    The patented Harparatus replaces your old style wire neck brace with a revolutionary sound baffle system that mounts quickly and easily to your mic stand and holds your harmonica firmly in front of you at the mic.  CAST OFF YOUR OLD WIRE NECK BRACE!
    The simple, elegant design of the Harparatus looks fantastic on your mic stand without adding clutter and is fully adjustable and functional. Two strong neodymium magnets hold your harmonicas firmly, yet allow for quick one-handed harp changes. The Harparatus works with standard metal harmonicas (Most all harmonicas have ferrous metal covers that will work with the Harparatus but test your harmonicas with a magnet to be sure). Mics and Mic stand not included.
    The Harparatus greatly improves your performance and amplified sound. Try the Harparatus and you'll wonder how you ever played without it.

    Made in Minneapolis, USA by yours truly. I'm a working musician, inventor of the Harparatus, and I came up with this micstand harmonica holder idea; all others are copy-cats. My songs and my harp playing appear in the hit Netflix series "STRANGER THINGS" and the Warner Bothers TV series “YOUNG SHELDON” on the CBS Television network

    Musicians and sound engineers love the Harparatus! Read their reviews:
    "I have played guitar and harmonica on a rack for over 40 years now. I have made my entire living as a musician but these days I work mostly as a one-man band.
    I think the Harparatus is a brilliant device and I would not hesitate to recommend it to other rack harp players.
    "

    Charlie Roth
    "The ease of using the Harparatus and changing harps has really opened up my setlist. I always felt the changeover time and my lack of comfort with a traditional harmonica neck rack inhibited me from using harmonicas, but now I can change harps quickly and know I've got a steady, reliable platform for holding the instrument. It's made a huge difference!"

    A great solution for the stage...and the studio!
    By TwoHandsTenThumbs on May 6, 2015
    Sometimes, something comes along that serves an immediate function, while also solving a problem (or several problems) you hadn't realized existed. The Harparatus is such a product. I was sick of wearing a rack for my harmonica while playing guitar. I came across the Harparatus on one of the harp forums, contacted the seller (inventor, musician, and all around good guy), and took the leap of faith. What arrived in the mail, was a nicely packaged, well-thought out, and ruggedly designed alternative to the traditional, restrictive rack. So I got what I paid for. But then I started messing around with it in the studio. See, some sort of harp playing lends itself to overdubbing. Easy enough. But for me, I think that the phrasing and nuance of playing is like an extension of the voice. So I want to capture things as a performance...but the harp being louder than my voice leads to all sorts of problems, most obviously, the fact that I'd prefer a different signal chain for my harp than my voice. Well, the clever baffle allows exactly that! I had a nice condenser mic on my vocals, and a dynamic on the harp. While there is a little bleed into the vocal mic, it is really a huge improvement, and is one less compromise I have to make in the studio.

    "The sound engineers all love the Harparatus too.  It makes their job easier at the mix board and I sound better because of it."

    "I've never liked playing harmonica with a neck rack on stage; it's awkward, changing harps is a pain, and the harp sound is inconsistent with the vocals. The Harparatus solves all that for me."

    "I am playing way more harmonica with my piano now. Really awesome, love this product."
