Simon must be thinking that we're agents of Anthony!  I wrote to him offlist 
recommending him.  I too have had excellent harps from him.  He confines 
himself to Hohners, and I found it very beneficial to speak to him to set 
out my exact needs.  An excellent fellow he is.  The weak dollar and 
disgustingly-higher UK harmonica prices could rob him of his competitive 
edge for US buyers I suppose but he's still worth a look.
