Re: [Harp-L] Minor keyed harp 1988?

Thank you guys. In this case I´m evidently victim to what T.S. Eliot called "the provincialism of time", thinking everything is recent. Thought the minor keyes arrived with Lee Oskar in the 90´s, but Hohner was there already. 

  Interestingly, I first picked up a harmonica in the mid 70´s, and never so far seen an atom of a Hohner minor key, so perhaps they weren´t any bigger hit.

Hi There Martin,
I have a friend with a Cminor harp from the 1960's.  It's a Hohner given to him by his mom.

I bought a Hohner Orchester(sp?) minor key in 1974 or 75.  It still plays
well.
