Re: [Harp-L] A Practical Guide to the Harmonica Holder

Hi

If I remember correctly, the Blues Tools rack was in the $90-95 range. 
Trouble was ... people were comparing $90 to $10 and coming up with "what 
have I got to lose. I'm only out ten bucks". I personally threw several 
cheap ones away and ruined a few more in trying to modify them. Now I'm 
crying that I didn't buy a Blues Tools.

Cheers,
Staggerin' Jim
