The Journeyman Harp
Hohner also refers to the Big River Harp as the “Journeyman Harp.” The name evokes the atmosphere of the American South: sitting on a paddle steamer slowly drifting down the Mississippi, the sun shining while music plays in the distance. The Big River Harp captures this very spirit of the Mississippi Delta – freedom, vast landscapes, and calm – in its sound.
