Did  Stock Low F harps exist back then?



YES... Not as 10 hole instruments, but as 12 hole Hohner "Marine  Bands" or 
"Echo Vampers". (Depending on the country they were marketed)... Back  in the 
early 1960s they retailed  in England at 7 Shillings and 6 Pence...  37.5 
Decimal Pence (GB)... About 50 cents USA.... The 10 hole "Echo Super  Vampers" were 
5 Shillings... 25 New Pence...Those were the days.... I used to  buy them by 
the dozen...
