Re: [Harp-L] Brad Harrison's New Harp

[Phillip Franklin <pbf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

These harps are seriously cool looking.  I played on one briefly, and it sounded sweet and played easily, but I didn't try any overblows and I didn't hit the bends hard, so I can't speak to how some people will want to play them.  On the other hand, Jason Ricci was singing their praises at the blow-off, and he sounded great playing one (a hand-made prototype -- they aren't being manufactured yet).

I haven't played his customized harps, and the prototypes he had at SPAH would be considered customized in any case.  We'll have to wait for the mass-produced units to see how they pan out.

Are there any reports from you guys who went to Spah, about Brad's new Harmonica,
the B-Radical?  It was supposed to be demo'd there.
If it is any thing with the quality and ease of playing as his customized harps I am eager to hear any news!
