RE: [Harp-L] why custom harps

["Michael D'Aurizio" <mdaurizio@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Abner,

  You can google "custom harmonica" and you'll find a you tube vid of Jason Ricci comparing out of the box vs custom harps. Also Brad Harrison has a video out there on the net somewhere doing the same thing.

 

                                                                                                                Mike
