I too have played Hohners almost exclusively, though I have a couple of Lee 
Oscars that I experimented with.  Among the Hohners, I switch between 
Special 20s (love the sound of the lows in particular), Bob Meehan custom 
Marine Bands (very playable and durable), Golden Melodies (for their 
fullness out of the box) and Meisterklasse (for their natural volume and 
shape in the hand) - all depending on the situation.

Subject: [Harp-L] Harp of Choice...
It seems that so many new harps are being discussed and discovered by our

harp community. What I am hoping to start with this post is another "roll

call". I think many of us would like to know what brand and models others

are using and perhaps explanations why. I will start the process and see 
if

anybody cares to follow suit.

I have always played Hohners. Overall quality and playability has made me

stick to them. Model of choice overall, Special 20's but also play some

custom Marine Bands. Starting to use the few Golden Melody's I own, mostly

cuz it seems to be the harp of choice for the "monsters" on the diatonic

scene. I play a lot of styles besides just blues; folk, rock, reggae, 
cajun

etc.
