[Harp-L] ] RE: Harmonica Devices

[scott gold <scottgold@xxxxxxxxxx>]

a long time ago ­ over 10 years ago - Big Joe Yushin converted a swiss army
knife into  harp working tool.  it¹s excellent.  I don¹t know if he makes
them to order or even sells them.  he¹s a great guy, great player.  I have
some of his custom harps ­ custom covers custom combs, etc.  very
interesting stuff.
