Custom Marine Bands in the UK

[Markburness@xxxxxxx]

Steve "West" Weston is now making and selling customised Marine Bands. Reed 
plates and cover plates are screwed together and the combs are sealed with 
beeswax. At £35 each they are obviously not in competition with the high end 
custom products (e.g. Steve does not as yet offer overblow set up), 
nevertheless they still represent excellent value for money and are a huge 
improvement on the "off the shelf" harp in terms of playability. Steve offers 
replacement reedplates for his harps at £15.

Steve plays traditional Chicago/West Coast style blues extraordinarily well 
and his set up reflects the experience he has gained in 20+ years of playing 
in that style. You can reach him on 01702 711945 or catch him at gigs with 
his own band, or Big Joe Louis & Blues Kings, or the Big Town Playboys. 
Current customers include Pete G of The Magnitones, Tim Corbett (Fatnin' 
Frogs & Borraway Blues Band) and Laurie Garman, as well as myself.

Best regards, Mark B.
