re: custom harmonicas

["alciere" <alciere@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since I love Lee Oskars straight out of the box, they do everything I need, 
is there an advantage to custom harps? None of my harp heros use custom 
harps. Granted there wasn't much for custom harps back when Paul Butterfield 
and Sonny Terry played, but Charlie Musselwhite and James Cotton play stock 
harps and sound great. 

Also, since harps are customized for a player's particular style, what would 
I ask for?-a Marine Band tuned like a Lee Oskar, with a playing response 
like a Lee Oskar, and oh yeah-a plastic comb? 

I don't mean to sound snide. Has anyone bought a custom harp and prefered 
the store bought?
