Strangely enough ... intonation is just about the only thing I prefer about
Hohners to Lee Oskars.  Hohners (when they are in tune) have an intonation
that (for my ears) plays better chords ("well tempered") whereas the Lee
Oskar seems to have more "perfect" tuning.

Another example of different strokes fer different folks.

Oh, and all good race car drivers drive Williams McClaren, not Chevy ...
