          Paul Butterfield's Lee Oskar Tombo Harp (Harmonica) Cosigned directly by Paul Butterfield's family, this harmonica is a part of the pioneering line of harmonicas between the multi-generational Japanese harmonica manufacturer Tombo and the harmonica virtuoso Lee Oskar. Paul Vaughn Butterfield (December 17, 1942 - May 4, 1987) was an American blues harmonica player, singer and band leader. After early training as a classical flautist, he developed an interest in blues harmonica. He explored the blues scene in his native Chicago, where he met Muddy Waters and other blues greats, who provided encouragement and opportunities for him to join in jam sessions. He soon began performing with fellow blues enthusiasts Nick GRavenites and Elvin Bishop. Condition: More detailed condition reports and additional photographs are available by request.
