[Harp-L] Bushman/Miller Lite

[ALAN FUNK <funkam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I perfer Miller Lite, but I must agree with the Bushman harps. 
Bushman Delta Frost is my harp, and I've tryed a bunch of them. 
Honestly have not tryed the Seydel Harps, but have been tempted.
Just for the record, I have tryed the Miller Lite.

Interesting, isn't it, how subjective are our opinions on various harps. I have a Seydel 1847 in A that is OK, but I don't think it's anything special. I much prefer Special 20s or Bushman harps. Nothing wrong with all that... I also happen to prefer Miller High Life in bottles over Guiness, for example. It's all a matter of taste.Steve Webb in Minnesota, experiencing a rare day with the temp only barely below freezing.---- bloozeharp <bloozeharp@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I agree.
