Lee Oskar 25th Anniversary Major Diatonic Gold Harmonica C GOLD

Collector’s Harmonica

Legendary War harp player Lee Oskar marks a quarter century of building high-performance harmonicas with this gleaming, limited edition Gold Diatonic.

This limited-edition, gold-plated harmonica has stainless steel cover plates engineered for excellent projection, tone, and corrosion resistance. The plastic comb eliminates swelling and shrinkage and is easy to clean. Replacement reed plates are available and are easily installed.

Built in Japan to his exacting standards and incorporating new techniques and materials, it was in 1983 that Lee Oskar introduced his new harmonica. The radically different harp design grew out of Lee's frustration with the lack of quality and consistency in the mouth harps of the day. The design also benefited from Oskar's insights as a seasoned recording and touring pro. This limited edition 25th Anniversary Gold Harmonica comes in the key of C and features gold-plated cover plates with special anniversary engraving.

The Dane's Design Central to Oskar's design is a smooth plastic comb that doesn't swell like traditional wood combs. Aside from being easier to keep clean, the plastic comb is impervious to the swelling of conventional harmonica wood combs that can tear up the player's lips. By making affordable replacement reed plates available, Oskar's harps can be easily refurbished. You no longer need to toss out a harmonica because a reed or two has gone south. Replacement reed plates are available for every model in the Lee Oskar harmonica lineup and installation is easy since they mount to the comb with just three self-tapping screws. The reed plates have wide chambers and narrow dividers for faster, easier playing. A precision-molded, recessed bed holds the reed plate securely to prevent air leakage and project a bigger sound. The corrosion-proof, stainless steel cover plates are also engineered for excellent projection and tone.
