The picture of the harp itself shows the newer Hohner logo, the
stylized person with the accordion. When did Hohner start using that
logo? I didn't think it dated back to the 60s.

Hi Ken,

Not sure what year the Beatles harp was originally issued, but I just 
went and looked at mine and it's exactly like the one pictured -- 
i.e. the new logo.

One interesting thing about the box: Hohner mixed up McCartney and 
Harrison, reversing their signatures next to their faces.  I am told 
there was a correction, and that a later (corrected) model -- much 
rarer -- was issued. But I have no idea whether that's true, or just 
wishful thinking and a legend.

cheers,
