“The MR-300 is my favorite instrument among all harps on the market. It is a revolution in harp manufacturing, with immense sound possibilities." Sadly Igor Flach passed away in 2008 an untimely age. He will be greatly missed by the Harmonica community.

 

- Igor Flach entered the DDR-Blues-Scene in 1984 as harpist for many well known German/European bands including the Jonathan Blues Band, Stefan Diestelmann, Passat, Pankow to name but but a few. He also featured on several recordings.
- 1987 saw the launch of his Solo-career with original material written by himself, going on to release a number of CD's
- Igor developed his own unique playing style (by using his tongue as a valve) and was considered an inherent part of the German Blues-Scene; performing at more than a hundred live shows per year.
- Igor told us at Suzuki that he was the very first Harmonica-Professional to adopt the Suzuki Overdrive as his primary performance instrument.
