A wire and wood harmonica rack crafted by Les Paul as a child together with a vintage Hohner tremolo concert harp No. 48 1/2, in original box and a photo of Paul as a child wearing a similar rack. In his autobiography Paul explains, "There were harmonica holders being made commercially then, but they couldn't change keys. You clamped the harmonica into them and you couldn't change keys unless you took one harmonica out and put another one in. That wasn't going to work for me because by now I had a good German Harmonica that played on both sides. So I made my own harmonica holder out of coat hanger wire and wood, and mounted my harmonica on pivot points so I could flip it over with my chin. On one side, if you blow, you're in C; if you draw, you're in G. On the other side, you blow in D, and draw in A. So that gave me four different keys I could play in with just one harmonica, by flipping it over when I needed to. That buffaloed everybody, and it was a lot of fun." Overall 7 1/2 by 10 by 12 inches Categories: Les Paul
