1.0 out of 5 stars Yikes, June 15, 2000

By A Customer

This book does NOT have it all. Particularly not on "every" aspect of harmonica. The "700+ articles" are on average 1-2 sentences of general knowledge (rarely useful). I love the harp and do NOT love this book. I can "live" just fine without it and it is NOT "the best harmonica book ever written". Almost every other harmonica book here on amazon is better. The other reviews here are insane. (and/or by the author?)

5.0 out of 5 stars A USEFUL COMPENDIUM, January 26, 2001

By	Jonathan F. Gindick "Jon Gindick" (Malibu, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an extremely useful resource. It gives an idea of the broadness of the harmonica world and the people who dwell in it. Most instruments have a history, and Mr. Krampert has made a major contribution to annodating ours.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE must have book for harmonica players, October 10, 1998

By A Customer

I thought I knew the harmonica, but WOW! This book has 10 times more players than I've ever heard of as well as band historys, techniques, history and a resource guide that can't be beat. Every article features a complete biography as well as all the recordings that are available by that artist. I can't imagine any harmonica player living without this book. I gave a copy to my dad who also plays and he's had a field day catching up on his harmonica recording collection. This is the best harmonica book ever written.
