Puck

These are the smallest 10-hole Richter harmonicas in the world. Their covers are slotted into conically cut grooves on the edges of the reed plates and remain in place through their own tension - a unique design feature. The Double Puck is the smallest double-sided “Wender” harmonica ever made.

A novel Hohner beginners diatonic harmonica in the key of 'C'. Named after the mischievous sprite from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', this petite harmonica has stainless steel cover plates, brass reed plates and a plastic comb. Less than three inches long, the bright sounding Puck is small enough to tuck into even the smallest shirt pocket!
