Re: [Harp-L] Harp purchases:suzuki

["hazcon" <hazcon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As Kiwi blues and I live in the same country* I have had the great pleasure 
of once sharing a Harp mike at a Live Jam and then talking harp into the wee 
hours.
            She has been an assiduous student of the Harp and had many of 
her submissions go gold on the Jam site.Not one of mine have ever been near.

So: Kiwi suggests Suzuki Bluesmasters to me as a great Harp and given that 
i can buy them here without the hassles of internet purchase i dived in and 
bought two(A and D)
           All it did for me was reinforce the mantra that we,as harmonica 
players, are all different and one mans(or in the case of Kiwi,woman's) meat 
is another's mans poisson.(sounds fishy)
             To me they just sound too quiet,wimpy?.I play L/Os and they 
will take any amount of 'crunch'
I really don't know why I am writing this:perhaps it is just the sheer wow 
factor of another NZ 'er being mentioned on the 'L(apart from Brendan 
Power)G' Day Brendan

*'Kiwi lives about a hundred miles away from me ,which to the Australian and 
American members is like, Next Door! To the British and various EEC members 
it is my god ,I'll have to book a hotel and take a packed lunch.......
