Re: old harps

[Mojo Red <harplicks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Howard, 

There are a couple of good sites for old harps.

The "The Virtual Harmonica Museum" from Sherman
"Tank" Doucette:
http://www.shermandoucette.com/museum/

Try "The "National Music Museum"
http://www.usd.edu/smm/galleries.html#virtual
and scroll down to "The Bates Virtual Gallery" for
some pics and info on some ~really~ old harps

Hope this helps.
