Tips	Tip 1 Tip 2 NOTES ABOUT COMPATIBILITY There are some harmonicas made with non-ferrous metal coverplates that will not work with the GECKO's magnetic harp cradle: – Suzuki Pure, Olive, Hammond, Pro Master, SCX 48s – Brendan Power’s Lucky 13s – EastTop 008K – GoldenBird - older harmonicas with chrome plated brass cover plates For those models that are not compatible with the magnetic cradle, the Farmer "Spring Grip Harp Mount add-on" can be used. Email to: [email protected] to order. >here is a video that shows the "Spring Grip Mount add-on" The GECKO holder is created mainly for Blues harmonicas. However some other model can be attached as well and some do not work well. Here is a short list of harmonicas that have steel (ferrous) reeds for great durability and clear tones that allow the magnet to slightly pull the reeds out of tune and therefore are not suited to be used with the GECKO holder: - SKYDIVER (too wide for Farmer Spring Grip Harp Mount add-on) - SAILOR STEEL (too wide for Farmer Spring Grip Harp Mount add-on) - CONCERTO STEEL - FANFARE S - SAXONY / DE LUXE STEEL / SAMPLER (no problems when played diatonically with open slider --> if the slider is pressed some blow notes are affected by the magnetic field and sound too low) - Important: The VOLCANY Chromatic has cover plates made of sheet brass. To mount it on the GECKO, the lower cover plate must be replaced with one made of stainless steel. Note: If the respective instrument is not clicked in the center, but offset to the right on the magnet, all notes will sound in-tune, because in the high register the magnetic field no longer has any influence on the stainless steel reeds. For more comfortable playing, it is then necessary to move the magnet holder itself on the GECKO further to the right. To do this, loosen the grub screws underneath the magnet holder and tighten them again after moving - use an allen key (1.5mm) for this. We need your feedback! Please write us your experiences with the GECKO holder - simply write an email to: [email protected] Conversion for left-handed or "other way round" players For a correct functionality the magnetic holder must be attached to the bottom coverplate always! The conversion into a "other way round" version can be done easily and the modified holder then works without any limitation.

Quote from SEYDEL Endorser Charlie Musselwhite about his experiences with the GECKO-Holder:

"Wow! this harp rack works even better than I imagined it. I’ve never enjoyed playing harp on a rack so much as with this Gecko rack. It’s perfect in so many ways. Thanks a million!!!!!"

The GECKO Harmonica Holder was designed by PETE FARMER in the USA and his handmade in Germany by SEYDEL harmonicas.

On his webpage www.footdrums.com you can buy various practical add-ons for the GECKO: holder for a spare harmonica, microphone/kazoo-holder, dual-harmonica holder for playing with two harmonicas at the same time, etc.
