Touch of Frost

tunedinIn October 1998, Bushman founder John Hall met the late harmonica legend Frank Frost at the King Biscuit Blues Festival. That meeting inspired Hall to create the Delta Frost harmonica. The Delta Frost has stainless steel cover plates with a plastic comb milled and rounded for comfort. Instead of brass reeds, the Delta Frost has longer lasting phosphor-bronze reeds that not only provide hours of dependable play, but produce a dirty, bluesy tone. The Delta Frost is available in 14 keys including the 12 standard keys plus low F and high G.
