Our late Uncle was a Concert Organ musician for over 65 years. He lived to be 98. "Traveling the world over", would be a fitting description. Playing his concerts in Churches, Temples, Theaters, everywhere. He collected books on music, martial arts. classic authors, sportsman..........
This was his harmonica, that he always kept in his breast pocket. Everyone that knew him, would always request Amazing Grace. It shows its age of course, along with a good strong resonance.
The books are all the harmonica items that we have located in his many Library rooms. Hoping this collection can bring joy to the next musician, after our Uncle. Any questions, do not hesitate. Thank you for your time here.
