RE: [Harp-L] Huang Star Performer

["John Balding" <John.Balding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chan Bar Huang worked for Hohner for years as a designer before starting
his own company. Some of his cover plates reflect the Hohner influence
(or perhaps his influence on Hohner).

The Star Performer looks like a Hohner Golden Melody. My guess is that
the Golden Melody would be the best "match" for the Star. The GM is
reputed to be a good harp to overblow with. It is Howard Levy's weapon
of choice and he is known for his overblows. However, I don't think Levy
is playing a stock GM.

Subject: [Harp-L] Huang Star Performer

Hi all! I had several harps, including hohner, Suzuki, hering and huang.
The
thing is that I like the sound of the star performer and I would like to
know if someone knows wich high quality harp sounds like a star
performer. I
like Suzuki bluesmaster performance and I have a golden melody but I
would
like to know if there is a harp that sounds more like the star
performer(maybe a seydel harp?? I didn't try any of these).If there is
some
harmonica like this that I can overblow would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Wadi
