[Harp-L] Best Working Man's Harmonica Out of the Box

[Dennis Moriarty <yodennis@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hate to use the obvious and overused "S" word (subjective) but it is  
appropriate here. Form factor and playing style (especially soft  
versus hard) are important. And then their is the quality control of  
the particular "Best out of the box". Because I'm a lifelong Golden  
Melody player without tweaking dexterity when they work well out of  
the box (1 out of 3) perfectly they're perfect. While I believe there  
may be superior tunings out there for octaves the organic volume/tonal  
qualities and especially the form factor serve me well. I'm hoping the  
Bends harp in the mail will be an alternative out of the box but I  
have tried most: Sum of my experience as a modest talent with a love  
for the instrument: Invest a couple of hundred on a sampling over  
time, e.g., GM, S 20, MB, Seydel, Bushman, Hering, Suzuki, Bends,  
etc....At he end of the day this post is probably not answering your  
particular harp quality credibility question. My best. d
