One object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient type of holder by means of which a harmonica may be held in suitable position to be played by a musician, leaving the musicans hands free for playing a stringed instrument at the same time he plays the harmonica.
Another object of the invention is to provide a holder of the character described in which the harmonica may be pivotally mounted, so that it may move on a horizontal axis and thus be accommodated to the mouth of the player.
A still further feature of the invention resides in the provision of a holder of the character described that may be cheaply and easily constructed and which is very eiiicient in use.
With the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, arrange ment of parts and use, example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the holder, as applied in use, showing the harmonica mounted therein.
Figure 2 shows a front elevation of the holder, and Figure 3 thereof.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like numerals of reference shows a fragmentary side view designate similar parts in each oi the figures the numeral 1 designates a substantially U- shaped yoke adapted to be iitted around the neck of the musician. .he ends orthe side bars of this yoke are upturned forming the upstanding arms 2, 2 and the free ends of these arms are overturned toward each other forming the studs 3, 3.

The holder is preferably constructed of heavy wire, but other suitable material may be used if desired.
A preferred form of the invention has been shown in the drawings and described in the specifications by way of illustration, while the broad principle of the invention will be defined by the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A harmonica holder comprising a one piece, substantially U-shaped yoke whose side bars have their free ends upturned form lg arms and inwardly turned studs at the free ends of said arms.
2. A harmonica holder comprising a substantially U-shaped yoke shaped to fit around the neck of the user, the free ends of whose side bars are upturned forming supporting arms, the free ends of said arms being inwardly turned forming blunt studs.
3. A harmonica holder comprising a substantially U-shaped yoke shaped to fit around the neck of the user, the free ends of whose side bars are upturned forming supporting arms, the free ends of said arms bein inwardly turned forming studs, and a yieldable member connecting said arms.
