Jive™ Harmonica Mutes

sketchfab

The Jive™ Harmonica Mute is a truly unique design. It is held and controlled along with the harmonica using just one hand. The harmonica is held in the conventional manner, sandwiched between the thumb and fore-finger. The Jive™ is attached to the players thumb using an adjustable strap. The Jive™ replaces the player’s bottom hand with a responsive resonating sound chamber. When the top hand is opened sound travels right over the top of the mute. Yes, the Jive™ is literally an Over The Top™ harmonica mute. The one hand combination is easy to control plus it frees up the second hand for things like using a microphone, playing a second instrument, or passing a hat. Also, for the first time a mute has been designed specifically for the chromatic harmonica. The Jive™ Chromatic edition includes the same one hand muting function thus allowing continuous access to the chromatic slide selector. Patent Pending Jive™ and Over the Top™ are protected trademarks within the scope of musical instrumentation.
