You need one of those massive bass harmonicas that was played by the Harmonicats.  (Also used in the song, "The Boxer" by Paul Simon.)

Love it Glenn. Just a piezo disc - which can be a buzzer or pickup... speakers also work two ways. I like those Percolator kits too. I've wanted to build one for a while.

HA! Cool Unc. I had a massive Hohner when I was a kid...that's a cheap Huang in the key of A actually. I'm likely going to build a 3 stringer w. speaker -as- the pickup wired to 1/4 in. female jack. If it works, cool, if feedback is too crazy after doing the stuff-body kill tricks that git will simply become another acoustic w. a nice hole where the speaker had been :) -Glenn

A good look for you, Glenn!  Now you need a GIANT HARMONICA.   Sounding pretty good on the little harp.   I made a speaker mic some years back using an approx. 1.5 inch speaker in the opening of a small pill bottle with the jack coming out the bottom.  It was fun.  Wish I still had it.

Way cool Glenn. Sort of like burning your candle at both ends.
