  Brothers & Sisters of the French Harp and Mississippi Saxophone, Bro' Abner,

       You might start with your local shop and see if they can help with your 
  harp purchases. In the Dallas Metroplex there is Murphy's Music 
  http://www.murphysmusictx.com/index.php?x=home

       Coast 2 Coast Music - http://www.coast2coastmusic.com/ is a fine source 
  of several harp brands, to include: Bushman, Hering, Hohner, Huang, Johnson, 
  Lee Oskar, Seydel and Suzuki.

       If you are having trouble acquiring harps send an e-mail to the shop or 
  make a call. No answer...no business. It's that simple!

       Is there an harmonica organization in your area? Again, Dallas has 
  http://www.hoottexas.com/ as well as seven other regional chapters. Also 
  refer to SPAH - http://www.spah.org/

       Perhaps you haven't found sites like - http://www.harmonicaclub.com/ or 
  http://harmonicajam.com/ to discuss brands and hear styles from around the 
  world. Two nights ago I heard the Hohner Blues Band set (!), (available in 
  Germany not the US), played by "German Harpist" whom is as good as any 
  harper participating at the Harmonica Club forum. 
  http://www.youtube.com/user/GermanHarpist It all takes patient practice.

       Buy a set of harps. Or negotiate the sale with the vendor. Aim at 
  becoming an instructor so that you can afford to expand. (The story goes 
  that Paul Butterfield "holed up" for several months and learned his harp. 
  http://www.bluesharp.ca/legends/pbfield.html )

       Even Kay Music will be coming out with a 'seven-set' of harps in the 
  near future. http://www.kayguitar.com/products/khcb7a.htm The harps are 
  referred to as "upscale deluxe that is tighter and a step up in quality." 
  They will also have black covers. Projected cost will be about $10 apiece. 
  (No 'set' cost available at the present time.)

  Be Blues...And Jazz,

  Suave Blues Man

  P.S. Don't forget to listen to http://knon.org/ M-F 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. CST and 
  use http://www.harmonicamasterclass.com/artist_listing.htm when you have to 
  get more information. (Lance has done a magnificent job!)

  Thank you Mr. Grosso,
  I'm in the process of buying on line.  The problem I have seen is that one 
  on line shop has some brands and then I would have to order from some other 
  site... I did fine one Harp depot, but I also heard some problems with them.
