Hi all.

This is just a short notice about the price increase. I considered it
the best to forward you the information that Hohner Inc. sent to
another customer:

Hello,

I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know there will be a
price increase for many of our harmonicas effective July 15th. The
currency exchange rate is the major factor for the increase, it is
something we have no control over.

Thanks for your interest and support of Hohner products.

Best Regards,

So the situation is as some of you have already correctly imagined.

All the best,
