Joe does custom Marine Bands & Golden Melodies so presumably he's talking about them.


Jo Jo Spiers does exceptional work. Jason Ricci is still playing his harps. I believe he could make a harp made from flattened Contadina tomato paste cans with petrified buffalo feces comb sound great.
smo-joe (just guessing)




If this is a response to the chorus of disapproval and spleen venting about Hohner quality that's been going on here for a while, maybe we should all give ourselves a pat on the back - we need two more authoritive opinions to achieve triangulation though & I still want a Golden Melody deluxe with a 1.1mm guage reedplate and a nice comb - so a chorus of "yes please, me too"'s would be great

Anyone else noticed an improvement lately? I'm finding that the newest ones
I've purchased don't have the squealing 2 draw, and the upper register blow
notes have stable pitches instead of blowing sharp. They overblow nicely as
well.
