[Harp-L] Harmonica reviews page

["Ian Chadwick" <ichadwick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just put up a page with some thoughts on and reviews of several popular
harmonica brands and models (diatonic only). Far from complete given the
number of models available, so it's a work in progress. But I figured that
I've been spending all this time and money trying to figure out what works
best for me, I might as well share it.
 
So far I've looked at Seydel, Suzuki, Hohner, Bushman, Lee Oskar, Huang,
Hering, Merano and Johnson harps. I can't cover complete lines of the big
companies, of course, but any recommendations for models I should examine
would be appreciated. I also added some notes on a couple of microphones and
my choice in amplifier. Sometime this winter I'll add sound clips.
 
Keep in mind I'm a rank amateur with limited musical talent, so this is a
page for others like myself. But suggestions and comments are welcome.
 
It's at:

Cheers
