Re: [Harp-L] Chromatic Comparo

[Slim Heilpern <slim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would put a slightly different spin on this. I own both and I think 
there is a real difference -- whether it is worth the price difference 
would depend on how much money you have lying around and which one you 
happen to like best. I know there are folks who actually prefer the 64 
over the 64x (regardless of price).

I really like the aesthetics of the 64x, not just the way it looks, but 
the way it feels and sounds when I'm playing it. I think the bottom 
octave is stronger on the 64x. It is also more buzzy down there (I 
happen to like that). The mouth piece is more rounded (which I prefer), 
and the instrument is more photogenic to my eye. So, it would depend on 
individual taste as well as how important the extra $100 or so is to you.
