I've had bad experiences with the big guys. In my experience they are the ones who want the money fast. They will take your cash then tell you its out of stock wait a month. 

On the other hand I've ordered from dave at elk river and have nothing but nice things to say about that. I come from a pretty populated area with lots of big box stores and ill go out of my way to avoid them. Unless I'm buying diapers. I find smaller stores are a lot more accomidating and will bend over backwards to make the customer happy. That's about it.

What happened Stan? 99 percent of the posts I remember you posting, besides the famous post about what people could eat, were plugs for Lil' Harp House, lately it's been musician's friend plugs, with LHH no longer around to plug. 
As a true little guy, Harp Depot is, by no means, what I'd call a little guy. You think otherwise about the little guys, that's cool. Whatever. I have no problem with that. Takes all kinds to make the world go round the sun. 

But the thing you said about Scott (of Harphouse) being only about getting money fast, getting product out slow really threw me.  Especially on harmonicaclub, I've heard nothing but good and after good from you about Harphouse, so much it borders on spam, you were consistently plum flutterated they gave stuff for free, were great guys, were reliable, answered all your questions, were there to help people, had a big sale so people could get harps before the Hohner price increase, etc.
That's your words, not mine. I am, understandably perplexed.

Now this is the Harp Depot I remember.  They are all about getting your money fast, then getting you the service/product SLOW. Harphouse did the same thing when they were around.  Makes sense that Doc bought their naming rights.  Never, ever trust the little guys these days, many are VERY close to going belly up (Harp Depot, C2C, Bushman, etc.) with this economy, stick with the big boys, they have more capital, and better business models.

At the Buckeye Harmonic Festival on June 12, 2009, I gave a Hering 6164 Chromatic harmonic to Kenny from the Harp Depot for repair.  He provided me with invoice #12450 and indicated that he would take it to see if it could be repaired but would return it to me via mail on Monday, June 15, 2009.

To date, I have not received it back from Harp Depot.

I have sent numerous emails to Kenny and Doc and left several messages at the store, as well as cell phones.  No one will return my calls.

Can you help?  Thanks.
