When you hear the name Lee Oskar, your first reaction might be to think about the well-known superstars of the seventies War. With their hits such as Low Rider, Why Can't We Be Friends, and the Cisco Kid, War continues to be a staple on the touring circuit. Part of War's charm came from the harmonica work of Lee Oskar. As a matter of fact, Oskar was such a respected musician that he formed a harmonica company of his own in 1983. His company, aptly named Lee Oskar, has grown to become one of the most appreciated harmonica producers in the world.
Lee Oskar harmonicas are well known for their versatility. Not only are they ideal for blues, rock, and folk music, but their signature altered tunings also make them exceptionally well suited for reggae and ska, hip hop, Latin grooves and more. Many artists insist on using nothing but Lee Oskar harmonicas. In fact, the legendary Junior Wells was actually buried with a collection of Lee Oskar harmonicas, so he could play on in the great beyond!
