About Me
Hello and Welcome!
I am a 22 years old freelance harmonicaplayer living in Stockholm, Sweden.
I play chromatic, diatonic and bassharmonica.

I am currently studying at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm, at the jazzprogram as the first harmonicaplayer ever. Its great and I love it.
In 2005 I won gold first prize in Jazz Diatonic and Blues/rock/folk/country Diatonic at the World Harmonica Festival in Trossingen, Germany. That made me focus all my energy to harmonica, before that I played a lot of different instruments (guitar, electric bass, piano, accordion). I still play a lot of guitar and accordion. I think they sound cool.
I also run a harmonicablog, please check it if you are into that subject!
I write my thougts about harmonica and music there.
Hope to hear from you!
All the best
Filip Jers
Interests
Hering Harmonicas
Chromatic Deluxe 64
Chromatic Antique Gold 64
Velvet Voice in C
Vintage Harp
Black Blues
Hohner 29 hole Bass-harmonica
But I think I am on my way to buy a Suzuki..
I also have the Suzuki Bassharmonica microphone, its fantastic! I run it through a Art-preamp Series. It put ups the signal a lot!
I mostly use a SM58 for live sound. If blues, a classical Green Bullet is nice.
In studio I like AKG microphones.
I like to read books by Charles Bukowski and Stephen King.
I like harmonicas tuned to A-442. Equal tuning. Then I stretch tune a bit to get a nicer sound on the top. I am very intrested in harmonica tuning. Its very hard. I dont think I have heard a harmonica thats perfectly tuned. But also, what is perfect tuned? Anyway.
Nice lines you can make here! To divided the text.
