RE: cheap harps?

["Laurent Vigouroux" <laurent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I totally agree, the Suzuki Easy Rider are very good harmonicas for the
price. Actually I think they can be compared to more expensive ones. And the
red covers are cool.

There are also the Blue Steel Harmonicas which are quite good and cheaper if
you buy them by bunch of 12 (key of C, $2.5 each) at www.harpdepot.com.
Moreover they come in 4 keys (A, C, D and G). I've got one in A which quite
good. They say on the web site that they are out of stock for keys other
than A but they give end of january for the new stock.

Hope this helps
