Editor’s welcome Welcome to the June-July issue of Harmonica World; as I type, it’s bright and sunny outside, hopefully an indication of the summer to come. We’ve got a great selection of articles in this issue, so thanks are due to all our contributors taking the time to write for us here at Harmonica World. At Harmonica World we always need volunteers to write articles or reviews, or generally to help out. For articles we need either 300 or 600 words, ideally in Word or Pages format, and some photos or images to go with them if possible. If you’d like to help or submit an article, please get in touch by email.
