[Harp-L] MANJI, HARRISON, CROSSOVER,ETC...

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

i've been playing out of the box Suzuki Hammonds 2-3 nights most  
weeks for well over 2 years and i haven't had a reed go bad yet.  And  
if one does go bad, I can buy  replacement reed plates.  Nice, dark  
tone, even across the registers, high compression, very responsive,  
and well worth the extra $, IMHO. You get what you pay for.

Btw, a player who is hard on harps is often a player who is not  
producing airflow from the diaphragm.   Before i learned to do that  
properly, i'd sometimes blow out a harp in a weekend if it was a key  
that I was using regularly. FWIW.
