[Harp-L] Custom harp?

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

Why do non-OB players buy custom harps?
 
Have you ever driven a Ford Fiesta (mass produced) and then driven a Jaguar (not so mass produced)?
 
They both get you where you want to go, but......

P.S. Jerry doesn't OB.

I was looking at Jerry Portnoy's web page and noticed that it said, "Jerry Portnoy plays Hohner Harmonicas, Magic Harmonicas and custom harmonicas by Joe Filisko". Jerry's course of instruction makes no mention of overblow/underdraw (lots on bending) and it makes me want to ask -- Since you can bend out of the box harps, I thought that custom harps were just a thing for OB players. Do non-OB players buy custom harps, why? Does Jerry overblow/underdraw? 
 
Peace and music, 
Dave
