Is there such a harmonca that I could play - even while in an airplane - that only I could here and not disturb others ?

If so...where can I get one ?

                 Thank you for your time 

                             Steven Barta

TurboHarp?

TurboHarp from Pittsburgh, PA has

SOTTO VOCE - THE QUIET HARMONICA

https://www.turboharp.com/sottovoce

I've never tried one or seen one, but the price is only $24.95.

If you try one, let us know how it works for you.

Will look forward to a review!

Steven: Be sure to post a review once you've tried the Sotto Voce. It'll be interesting what a 3dB (50%) audio level reduction actually means. And of course, re playing while on an airplane, for the time being aircraft staff will probably ask you to keep your mask on and play it behind the mask, which should "mask" the sound even further. (Around our house, with close neighbors and windows upon in the summertime, my wife suggests that after a certain hour I don't work on any new tunes, or on my bending, and stick with stuff she's heard me do well. I can see where some of my bending efforts might have the neighbors phoning animal protection services.)
