[Harp-L] Custom Harps

[Bob Cohen <bcohen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been poking around the net for custom and high end harps. To my 
surprise, no one seems to work on Lee Oskars. (Or at least they don't 
advertise it). I switched to them years ago because I hated the taste of 
the Marine Bands and the way the wood felt on my mouth. Are my 
observations based on a too small a sampling? If not, why Hohners 
instead of one of the many other brands (Lee Oskar, in particular).

Also, I'm considering a Dannecker Blues harp. They're listed at â95 
which is a whopping $178.10 as of today. (The exchange rate is 1 GBP to 
1.87 U.S. Zowie.) Has any one used these? Are they worth the dough?
