[Harp-L] Hohner price increase

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A few weeks ago the discussion of Hohner's handmade price increase  
came up.

I contacted my wholesale supplier yesterday to find their current  
prices.  Luckily they only increased GM's, S20's and MB's  by about  
$4 (prices may
vary according to wholesaler)  but the 270 chromatic was increased by  
a dramatic $20.

I love Hohner's and have always been a diehard Hohner player and harp  
tech  but HohnerUSA seems to be stabbing itself in the back with  
these increases.
Esp. when Seydel and Suzuki are bending over backwards to get our  
business.   I asked my supplier to check into stocking Seydel and  
Suzuki harps.
