Re: [Harp-L] Rupert Oysler

["Michael Peloquin" <peloquinharp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I own Rupert's VHS version- it is really good. It helps one appreciate what 
a customizer needs to do to put out that great product. It also made me 
realize that I will continue to pay someone else to do this.
This instructional video is a must for any beginning customizer/tweaker. A 
solid investment.
Rupert is also a FINE player and should make some recorded product of his 
playing SOON!

BTW- I should have a "new" CD (and plenty of copies of HOC) available at 
SPAH.
