Re: [Harp-L] Pro Harp

But this is a photo of the Pro Harp MS, not of the older "handmade" Pro 
Harp.

By the way, there were two versions of the pre MS Pro Harps: the one 
with the "mat" covers, but later there was the "Pro Harp II" with 
polished and bright (brilliant?) black covers. Another remarkable 
difference: the reedplates of the pro harp II were no longer nailed to 
the comb but were attached by screws and the Pro Harp II was also 
available in some alternate tunings, like "Country Tuning" for instance.

Back then, in the pre-MS era, the Pro Harps were my favourite harps 
beside the old handmade Meisterklasse 580. No Marine Band, no Special 20...
And believe it or not, I am still playing my Pro Harp in the key of E, 
more than 20 years now and it runs and runs and runs....
