There's been some heavy debating about this harp on MBH, mainly regarding how much it costs as opposed to how much customizing it potentially needs to work properly. Think I'll stick to my XB-40 for now.

Subject: [Harp-L] SUB-30 price in USA
I sent a post her a couple of weeks defending the price of the Suzuki SUB -30 ($185 US)
I compared the SUB 30 to a Bassoon that cost $36,000. Well.... now I have a new instrument to compare with the SUB - 30. That is the SUB 30 in Japan - 6,480 yen, or $82 US.
I put out a youtube video on the subject : http://youtu.be/GyHagW-8qEU
I want to make this clear - I think that the people of Suzuki Japan are good, honorable people, and I support the risk they are taking in putting out the SUB 30. I also think the SUB 30 has the potential to be a real gift to the harmonica community, opening up new and powerful ways to express the music we hear in our heads and the passion in our hearts.
But I do not support Suzuki USA selling this instrument for more than twice what it sells for in Japan. If you bought one of these harps and want to talk to Suzuki customer service about the price, hers is the number: 1-800-854-1594. I looked for an email of their website and could not find one.
