The Smallest Harmonica in the World

THE SPACE LADY

It's impolite to talk about a lady's age, so we won't. But we can tell you that the Little Lady is not only the world's smallest playable harmonica, but also the first instrument to be played in space. Walter Schirra used it to play "Jingle Bells" during his mission as commander of the Gemini 6 spacecraft, which secured it a place in the history books.

But the Little Lady is so much more: it is a fully playable instrument with a surprisingly powerful, rich and even sound. Enjoy a little piece of history - literally.
