Please note: JDR Assassin and this John Lee are the same harmonica.

I love this harmonica!  It’s so special – the way it feels, the way it plays, the way it sounds – that it deserved the very best name.  I named it after 3 important men in my life – John Lee Curtis aka Sonny Boy Williamson I (March 30, 1914 – June 1, 1948) the founding father of blues harmonica, John Lee Hooker (August 22, 1917 – June 21, 2001) my favorite bluesman, and John Lee Hall, (February 25, 1944 – January 23, 2022) my father who instilled in me a never-ending love for music.

The John Lee is the first harmonica ever to feature Smoothie Cover Plates.  The brushed stainless steel covers are not painted or powder coated – they’re just completely slick, making for a super comfortable, super fast harmonica.  The hole numbers are positioned out of the lip zone to improve comfort and slickness even more.  There’s a deep finger valley in each cover plate for your index finger and thumb to lay in while holding it.  The finger valleys are not only comfortable, they keep the instrument right where you want it.  The ends of the Original’s plastic comb are concave so the harmonica lays perfectly in the crotch between your index finger and thumb.  There’s no other harmonica anywhere that offers this many comfort features, and then you have the playability!  The easy, loud, fast, sound it produces seems magical – like it’s impossible.  I’ve never experienced a harmonica that bends so easy – draw bends, blow bends, over blows – whatever you call on it to do, it does!  The harmonica technicians who make the John Lee use an easy-bender reed gap recipe that makes those bends possible right out of the box, with no customization or adjustments necessary.  All I can say to them is, Namaste!  The John Lee Original features a ABS plastic comb and the John Lee Steelie features a polished aluminum comb.

Made for carrying our Bushman John Lee harmonica around in your pocket as it prevents lint and debris from getting into your harmonica.  Handmade and handsewn by Lec Hall in Marcellus, Michigan out of USA tanned Wickett & Craig leather to last a lifetime.  You can custom fit this holster to a John Lee harmonica by running warm water over and inside it, and shoving your harmonica into it. Shape the holster to your harmonica using your thumbs and fingers so that it fits snugly and perfectly, like an old baseball glove. Leave the holster, with the harmonica in it, to dry overnight. After it’s completely dry, apply a coat of vegetable oil to the holster to replenish necessary moisture. And voila – you have a custom fitted case. This harmonica holster is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the original purchaser. Warning: The smell of this case is so good, it can be become addictive.
