Re: [Harp-L] Is James Gordon Charlie McCoy's customizer? (was stainless steel harmonica reeds)

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

He told me he played only stock and was totally happy with that. I had a talk about this with Charlie back in September I asked him who set up his harps, he said played them stock from the manufacturer. Some of us might think, why wouldn't a guy in his position want a custom harp, but he does well without it. He doesn't overblow, so he could care less whether a harp overblows. I got the impression he doesn't want to fool around with getting reeds replaced, etc. when they blew out, he just wants to grab another harp and, as he says, Keep On Harpin.

James, are u Charlie McCoy's steady customizer?  Tho it has been said on this list that it was
believed that Charlie plays stock SP20's, I always wondered why (if true).
