RE: Speaking of Suzukis...

["Steve Shaw" <moorcot@xxxxxxx>]

Does anyone have any experience with the Bluesmasters? I have a number
of Promasters and I quite like them, but they're pricey. If the
Bluesmaster has reedplates that are replaceable and of the same or
comparable quality to the Promaster reeds, it might be a great harp.

That said, I'm still a hardcore Lee Oskar fan: great quality,
evidently great quality _control_ and I love the tone I get with 'em.
Still my harp of choice.

I just have the one so I'm speaking from limited experience.  It has those 
spot-welded reeds.  It is tuned to equal temperament, like LOs, but it 
needed considerable messing about with to get it playable - gapping 
especially was all over the place, and some reeds were out of tune apropos 
12tET.  It has nice even tone and I like it, though I haven't put it to the 
test severely like I do with my Lee Oskars, which are the nearest thing to 
bomb-proof!  I'm not aware that you can get new plates but I stand to be 
corrected there.  They are about the same price as Sp20s in the UK.
