Re: [Harp-L] Marine Band Deluxe no. 2005 opinions?

[Philharpn@xxxxxxx]

I've got one in C that I purchased from Europe. It compares favorably with 
the MB in A I bought from Jimmy Gordon. Or the other way 'round.

They're both great harps; I don't know which is superior.

But I bought Jimmy's custom MB because he had it with him at a SPAH 
convention. Instant purchase. I had to wait several weeks for the MBD harp from Europe. 
Plus, it cost more than $55. And Jimmy's cost me less than $95.

But money isn't everything. If you're worried about the price, you can't 
afford it. If you find a good custom rebuilding who makes harps the way you like 
'em, even FREE harps of any other brand won't compare -- because they don't 
meet your needs.

Buy a few MBD and give them a test drive.

The MBD is much different from the standard MB.

They both taste great.

Can anyone comment on how the  MB Deluxe 2005 ($55.95 at Best Lil 
Harphouse)plays and sounds?  Specifically, anywhere close to Flilisko/Sleigh/Gordon 
custom MB's with sealed comb (that currently run $95)? I'm thinking of trying one 
as my next replacement D harp.
