Suzuki Tremolo Chromatic (was...Re: [Harp-L] Day 2 in Hong Kong)



Hi Pat and all,

I didn't realize that Suzuki is now affiliated with Hammond.
Or vice versa. That's very interesting news (I found out when
I clicked the back home button on the Suzuki web site). Maybe
Suzuki harmonicas will be more prevalent in the USA now. The
Tremolo Chromatic looks pretty nice - doesn't seem to be as
bulky as the custom jobs I've seen which are two 280's or 270's
hooked together with a special mouthpiece and double slide.
Not knocking the custom jobs - I have the 280 version built by
John Infande and the craftsmanship is impeccable.
