Joe began working on his own harmonicas shortly after he began playing them. Soon he began building, customizing, and repairing them for others, including many professional players who were quick to acknowledge the value of his work.

More details on this story are available on the Interviews page of this website, and on the Old Town School of Folk Music's  bio page.

About those custom harmonicas . . .

Due to his present workload and schedule, Joe is unable to accept orders at this time and requests that you please contact
Richard Sleigh or James Gordon for your Filisko Method Harmonica needs. Contact info for Richard and James is posted at Customharmonicas.com
