[Harp-L] Re: [HarpTalk] RIP Bill Romel

[Mojo Red <harplicks@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was saddend to hear of Bill Romel's passing. 

He was not only a great harp tech., he was 100% Class. A number of years ago I had him work over a big 16-hole Super 64 chromatic that was pretty wheezy out of the box. Not only did he put the reeds to rights as I had asked, but he re-worked the slide and silver plated the mouthpiece without my asking... and without charging me extra. That harp has played like butter ever since. 

We'll all miss you, BIll. RIP.

Harpin' in Colorado,

Bill was a great harmonica technician and a good friend who will be missed.
