Moan,
So far your experience is the exception...most folks I've heard from, and I, 
think that these are the sweetest out-of-the-box harps to come along.  I 
like them so much, I've become a reseller...and look forward to hearing back 
from my customers about their experiences.  We've all had good and bad 
harps...I've had bad Lee Oskars, Suzukis, and a whole run of bad 
Hohners...even a bad chromatic, so it can happen anywhere.  I hope that the 
failure percentage of these is very low....I think they're the best 
alternative for those of us who can't afford custom harps.

What a great forum!
