Re: [Harp-L] Blues harp of choice?

["Whiteboy Slim (maurice richard libby)" <blues@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A month or so ago, I would probably have said Special 20, but I recently 
played a couple of gigs where I could hear the harp really well. I was 
switching between special 20s and Blues Harps, and I have to say that 
the Blues Harps were louder, had much nicer tone, and were way easier to 
play. And this is after about twenty years of switching betweeen the two.
