Re: [Harp-L] Thunderbird



Who's on the box might be a clue about something - or not. In Joe's case it is. While I'd be suspicious if they ran an old file photo of Norton Buffalo or Lee Oskar, Dennis makes sense both as the sort of player who might have had input given his love of low harps. Maybe Howard not so much.


Dave never mentioned anything to me about his involvement, and neither did Joe. If Dave did have input on the design, I'd want to see his face on the box. He's a known player whose image could motivate the kind of buyer who will shell out $100+ for a diatonic harmonica.

The box has portraits of Joe Filisko, Dennis Gruenling (who is big time into super-low harps), Howard Levy, and European player Greg Zlap. While the cover design originated with Joe, I'm not sure what part the others may have played in development of the Thunderbird beyond being players who would make strong use of it.
