Welcome to GEORGE MIKLAS'

HarmonicaGallery.com


Cleaned ♫ Rebuilt ♫ Refurbished ♫ Recycled ♫ Used

George Miklas is a purveyor of quality used harmonicas including the following models:  Chromatic, Chord, Bass, Polyphonia, Vineta, Harmonetta, Chordomonica.


This inventory includes instruments which he has personally cleaned and/or refurbished.  George buys store returns and estates, then he cleans, rebuilds, and refurbishes the instruments as needed.  The used inventory is priced at a fraction of the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price & Minimum Advertised Pricing.  


All used harmonicas are guaranteed in correct playing condition.  Therefore, price differences are based upon the appearance, not playability.  


If you want a harmonica that sounds good where its appearance doesn't matter, then refurbished just might be for you.

Pricing is based upon several factors:

  • Appearance (scrateches/dents)
  • Condition of case (or no case)
