Truthfully Fernando, my views on Chinese goods go way beyond harmonicas.  They go way beyond China.  I will tell you that everything you buy in the US says made in China so there is no deluding oneself into thinking otherwise.  I worry about all the things that I buy.  I try to buy used whenever I can.  I buy goods that are labeled from countries where I know that workers are treated well (I know that the label does not mean a whole lot anymore so that is no guarantee).  If there was some way to know who made what I use I would be very happy.  Now I just try to use less, buy used and try to do a little research.  I know that I fail, but it nearly impossible to live with my "absolute" beliefs.  It is an exercise in frustration but I can't live with myself if I not try.
