Harmonica automatic positioner and method

Abstract

A harmonica automatic positioner, comprising: a shoulder yoke configured to be worn over the shoulders of a user, the shoulder yoke having a first end and a second end configured for resting on opposite sides of the chest of the user; a harmonica support frame, rotatably attached to the first end and second end, the harmonica support frame having a first member and a second member configured to rotatably attach to the first end and the second end of the shoulder yoke, where the harmonica support frame is adapted to be wearable on a chest of a user and comprises a plurality of fasteners configured to hold a harmonica; a clutch mechanism that rotatably joins the first end and the first member, and rotatably joins the second end and the second member, where the clutch mechanism is configured to hold the harmonica automatic positioner in alternatively an at rest position and an at ready position, where in the at rest position the harmonica is out of the way of the user's mouth, and where at the at ready position the harmonica is near the mouth of the user such that the user can play the harmonica; an actuator in operable communication with the clutch mechanism, and configured to actuate the clutch mechanism from the at rest position to the at ready position, and further configured to actuate the clutch mechanism from the at ready position to the at rest position; and a switch mechanism in communication with the actuator and configured to actuate the actuator. The disclosed invention also relates to A method of using a harmonica, the method comprising: actuating a harmonica automatic positioner to move a harmonica from a rest position to a ready position; playing the harmonica; and actuating the harmonica automatic positioner to move a harmonica from the ready position to the rest position.
