[Harp-L] hohner blues harp

[Shawn Williams <swilliamsffpm@xxxxxxx>]

 i have a blues harp in D and always thought it was decent. more recently i have gotten to 
try more brands of harps including Seydel and Susuki. i recently replaced reedplates in the blues harp for about the 3rd or 4th time (that's how long i've had it) and, to be honest, it's gotten to where i can't stand the thing. it's leaky and stiff. all my hohners have been gradually replaced, actually. it is very much personal preference, mind you. But, the blues harp has 2 reed plate screws, my susuki's and Seydel's have 5 or 6 (depending on model). i have tried most brands out there now and my main harps are an eclectic mix, but all the Hohners are in backup only status now. there's my personal take on the Blues Harp by Hohner. YYMV. :-)
