RE: [Harp-L] Looking for a good overblow harp

Chris, 

That seems like a pretty bold statement to me. It's likely that the
findings are too subjective and the variables far too great to qualify
such a suggestion that every customized harmonica under $100 are not
"good". Perhaps at your personal level this is the case.

Opinions are like that though.
