JEAN "TOOTS" THIELEMANS
International Jazz Harmonica Celebrity

"A fellow harmonica player suggested I call Antony Dannecker. Right away, I realised Antony knew the instrument (Chromatic, in my case) inside out: adjusting pitch, tone, warmth of sound all over the range, especially the higher register - which I always avoided except for a short "dramatic shout". He sent me one of his tailor-made "babies", just to my preferences....Tony, how can I thank you?"

“Great talking to you the other day and congratulations on your harmonica. You’ve done a great job. I’ve tried customised harmonicas for years but nothing compares to the Dannecker Blues - hey man you’ve got it right! I love it. The action is tight and fast and the tuning is spot on.”
