[Harp-L] Buddha Harps - Current Price list

[Buddha <groovygypsy@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Hype is true!   Become a better player with just one harmonica.

Chris Michalek is modifiying stock harmonicas designed to help all
players realize their full potential. There are many harmonica
"customizers" but none play at the advanced level that Chris does,
this is important because world-class playing is an indication of
dedication, a natural gift of hearing tones and nuances in each note
as well as the employment of top notch technique. It takes a special
harmonica to allow top-shelf players play they way they play.

Chris understands what it takes to build a harmonica for real world
performance, he has been building harmonicas since 1991.  Any
harmonica that leaves the workbench is one that he would be happy to
play on any live gig.

need is a harmonica that plays better out of the box. Cover plates and
combs are not modified.  The reeds are distressed, tuned, set up of
optimum play-ability and gapped.  Less nuances are available on a harp
set up like this BUT it still plays better than ANY out of the box
harmonica.
