The harmonica is the highest-selling musical instrument in the world.
The United States buys the most harmonicas, followed by China in terms of units sold each year. Many successful people have admitted that playing this fun instrument helped them in relieving stress and feeling better.
The harmonica consists of the comb, reed plate, and cover plates and there is also the option to use a harmonica holder to make it look premium. It is not only musicians in rock or pop music that like a harmonica, but many US presidents have also liked playing it. Previously, this mouth organ was given the name 'Mundaeoline' but later, this was modified by Joseph Richert, who then named it the Harmonica. The harmonica became famous in the United States during the Civil War as it was brought here by the German-Americans and became very famous among soldiers from both sides. When they went throughout the country, they took this trendy musical instrument with them because it was much cheaper and more easily carried than other instruments. People really liked it and that is how, even today, the United States buys around two million harmonicas every year. Another reason for their high sales is that children really like this instrument and as it does not cost too much, parents buy them a new mouth organ whenever they ask for one.
