“The MR-300 is my favorite instrument among all harps on the market. It is a revolution in harp manufacturing, with immense sound possibilities." - 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, since then Igor has released a number of CD's
- Igor has developed his own unique playing style (by using his tongue as a valve) and is now considered an inherent part of the German Blues-Scene; performing at more than a hundred live shows per year.
- Igor tells us he was the very first Harmonica-Professional to adopt the Suzuki Overdrive as his primary performance instrument.
- Many sample-videos can be seen on Igor`s website (link above)

 

Sadly Igor Flach passed away last year at an untimely age. He will be greatly missed by the Harmonica community
