Re: New Harp from Tombo

["Mike Fitzhenry" <m.fitzhenry@xxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know the business deal Lee has with Tombo? Surely their contract
isn't forever. I use LO's but it would be nice to have other choices
available. You'd think if the man got his cut from Tombo, why should he care
if his names on the box. He's doing a dis-service to all of us here in the
US. Do you think petitioning Tombo or LO is something worth looking into?
Possibly at a convention or online.
