Society for the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica

The 2016 convention will be help in San Antonio, Texas at the El Tropicano hotel. 

Starting as early as 8:30 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m., seminars on various topics—from harmonica history to music theory to harmonica maintenance—are presented addressing the needs of all levels of playing ability and the various types of harmonicas. The topics and presenters change every year, so you never know what you might be able to learn!

To begin with, at pretty much all times, spontaneous hallway playing sessions, covering a variety of musical styles, are going on wherever a convenient spot is available. The annual SPAH Convention is America's biggest harmonica party!

Held in a different city every year, the SPAH Convention is a five day event that features seminars, jam, and world-class performances by and for players of all types of harmonica and all genres of music.
