Re: [Harp-L] Wood Covers for Diatonics?

["Tim Moyer" <wmharps@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That was Hardwood Harps, which was at www.hardwoodharps.com.  I 
believe they are now defunct.  The website is no longer available, 
at least.  I think they were a little ambitious in their approach.  
They offered two different comb styles (square hole and "turbo" 
round hole) for two different plate styles (Hohner MS and Lee Oskar) 
and three different woods, and in available keys.  They delivered 
product in bubble packs, which indicated they were expecting to do 
shelf stocking in stores, but with that many product combinations 
and their retail price close to $90, they couldn't generate 
sufficient demand.  Still, it was a nice product (I have one), and 
their customer service was very good.  When I made an online comment 
about air leakage with the comb (not directly to them) they sent me 
a set of die-cut neoprene gaskets with a personal letter about 
them.  I still think they sound very nice, but even for me were a 
tough sell at $90.

diatonics... Please, who was that, and are they still around?
