John is a harmonica repairer and customiser. Following years of experience as a toolmaker John moved into repairing musical instruments, initially for woodwind instruments, before tapping into a rich vein of work repairing harmonicas. As well as many private clients, he now does repair work for the big three manufacturers. This has led to John now making quite possibly the only hand-made harmonica in the world today, under the name The Great British Harmonica company.Select the Chapter Markers tab above to select different sections of the podcast (website version only).John's website:http://www.johncookharmonicas.com/Julius Berthold book:http://www.johncookharmonicas.com/book-julius-bertholdJohn's saxophone stands:http://www.saxrax.comJohn's engraving website:https://www.johncookengraving.co.uk/YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBdedNWMD0l6o3Y1Nyv1sLwPodcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsor:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com  or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICAS
