I HAD A HUANG IN D THAT LASTED UNBELEIVABLY FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS OF SERIOUS BAND
USE WITH RETUNING AND PERIODIC RESTS. IT WAS MY FAVORITE AND I COULD OVERBLOW
IT AND JUST PLAY THE HECK OUT OF IT ON BLUES. I NORMALLY ONLY USE THEM FOR
WHAT I CALL CAR HARPS - PRACTICE. BUT THAT ONE WAS SUPER. I EVEN LET KIM
WILSON TRY IT ONCE AND HE WAS SURPRISED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE TONE. ONCE IN
AWHILE YOU JUST GET A GOOD ABERATION. LITTLE MIKE FROM LITTLE MIKE AND THE
TONADOES USE TO PLAY THEM ALL THE TIME AND NORTON BUFFALO WAS A HUANG ENDORSEE
AT ONE TIME. OF COURSE NORTON TUNES HIS HARPS. WHATEVER WORKS.

Funny thing, Tim. I take my lunch outdoors in a secluded spot where I can honk
undisturbed for an hour each day. Today, just after praising the Star
Performers, the 4 draw went on a practically brand new B. (my 3 SP's are all
lower keys so I didn't know the higher ones sound tinny. Mine are low and fat.
) I guess I angered the gods. I will, in future, be more circumspect with my
praise. I take it you play Marine Bands. I do prefer the Marine Band to the
Golden Melody
