RE: [Harp-L] RE: Harp Store Recommendation: Coast To Coast Music!

["Tom Klingl" <tom.klingl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

dito - got a few Seydels and also an Audix Fireball from them in July. Very
speedy delivery. And they DO communicate with their customers ("...item is
not in stock - what would you like us to do...?"). And they don't just
charge your credit card. I warmly can recommend them too.

I also recommend Coast2CoastMusic.com.  I have bought dozens of harps, an
Audix Fireball, along with other items from them and they are my go to harp
and gear source.  My experience is the same as Bob's.

Just a happy customer
