[Harp-L] re: hohner blues harp and now experimentation blues

[rainbowjimmy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Tried one, was pleasantly surprised having not played hohners in over  
20 years. Bought one as an emergency harp. It was a little awkward  
using it live with my Lee Oskars because the harp was substabtially  
quieter and of course after a month it died.

I was excited this week because I was going to try a different brand  
of harp (Hering)but I chickened out. The Lee Oskars work. They're  
loud. They're gapped right for me. They last forever. Seriously I buy  
harps like once every 3-5 years. I just couldn't see spending twenty  
bucks on a harp and not know if it's loud enough, not know if the  
build quality is up to stuff,  not know if I need to buy another one  
in a couple months, etc, etc. So--does any company make a harp with  
the build quality of the Lee Oskar, and the volume of the Lee Oskar  
with the tuning of the old Marine Bands? I still might get up the  
nerve to try one.
