[Harp-L] Original Hohner Pro Harp



i don't think there is a perceptible weight difference between the Special 20 shiny covers and the original Pro Harp Greblon coated covers.

As between the painted covers of the Suzuki Hammonds and the unpainted PLATED shiny covers of the Suzuki Promasters, American web sites show the same weight specs for each of these harps, which is not correct. Some European sites give a different weight spec for each which i believe is more accurate. Hammond= 85 grams Promaster=90 grams. Since the only design difference besides color is the covers, it is reasonably apparent that the painted, unplated brass covers of the Hammond are 5 grams lighter than the unpainted chrome plated brass covers of the Promaster.

No, i have not actually weighed them myself, but you can check the weight specs for these Suzuki models at harponline.de. The weight of the VALVED promaster is reported there as being 91 grams (the windsavers apparently weigh 1 gram). This seems very precise, so i tend to believe the specs at the harponline.de site are probably accurate, (as well as being consistent with my subjective impressions).
