The harp on LW's Juke sounds amplified to me, though for all I know it is 
common knowlege that it was not.  Certainly Walter doesn't sounds AS 
amplified on other recordings.

By comparison, SBW2's Trumpet recordings do not sound amplified to me, but 
rather just given a little reverb by the engineer.
