[Harp-L] RE: Rupert Oysler

["Stan Ruffo" <stan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Mike,
I have had Rupert's 2DVD set for several months, and used a lot of the info
obtained from them to completely rebuild half a dozen twenty year old Marine
Bands.  The DVDs weren't only informative, but entertaining as well.  One of
the best values in harmonica related purchases I've ever made.

I might also add that, list member, Tim Moyer was also very helpful to me
during the time I rebuilt those Marine Bands, as I was trying, (with some
level of success), to duplicate something similar to his Artisans.
