[Harp-L] Re:Pro harp players

When you become a Hohner endorsee, which I did about 10 years ago, you have  
to send in material for them to review to prove you are worthy to support 
their  product. If you are approved, what you get in turn is an endorser's 
discount on  their products, you buy directly from Hohner, not just walk in a music 
store and  show an endorser card or anything like that. I think it was half 
price. Now I  still play Hohners, I just pay my fee for custom harps as they work 
best for me.  My builder sets them how I like them for varied styles, once I 
got my first  Filisko in 94 I was done buying off the rack. I never minded 
hard work so  having 3 jobs at the time allowed me not to think about every penny 
I  spent on a harp. I plan on playing the instrument until I die so why not 
buy the  best and enjoy it. If just starting out it doesn't matter, you gotta 
get your  lips in shape first anyway.
