Imagine the looks and laughs you will receive when you touch your lips to your iPhone and harmonica sounds begin to fill the air with music. The Harmonica application by Benjamin McDowell costs only $0.99 cents in the itunes app store. This digital harmonica features notes sampled from a genuine 10-hole diatonic harmonica. You are able to play both single notes and execute chords, as well as blow notes and draw notes, as explained in the app store overview. I have used my iphone harmonica in public settings just to watch the reactions, and let me tell you, they have been priceless. I have seen people react with laughter, bewilderment, and lots snarkiness. It has been nearly impossible for me to keep a straight face.

Here is a screenshot of the Harmonica app as it appears on your iPhone

You have the option to play with your fingers by simply touching the harmonica, but it doesn’t look nearly as cool. Playing the harmonica with your fingers is definitely more hygenic in comparison to placing your mouth on your iphone. While using your lips to make the music doesn’t require that you actually blow into your iphone, it certainly looks more realistic and makes this gag look even more convincing. Make sure you check this app out today! It’s sure to bring the laughs.
