You guys make good points for buying Filikso's but you over state one point.
The price. The average stock Handmade Hohner is between $17 to $20 on the
internet. More if bought locally. That would have someone new to custom
harps thinking they start around $340 per harp.

The overblow harps approach $200 but no where near the price you are
suggesting.

Filikso harps are affordable considering they are the custom harps by which
all others are judged.
