[Harp-L] MB Deluxe redux



Today I got the Marine Band Deluxe A harp that Hohner sent me to replace the one that was in poor shape when I bought it about a month ago.  (It took me a couple of weeks to send it back to the factory.)  This instrument is a completely different story from the one it replaced.  

Out of the box, it's in tune, plays a full dynamic range from soft to very loud, and overblows as easily as any mass-produced instrument I've ever owned.  It has a nice barking tone when it's played hard, and it's got a smooth response all the way up and down the line. In short, it's a very nice instrument, more than comparable to the similarly priced Suzuki Firebreaths I own.

If this instrument turns out to be durable as well as good-sounding, it could easily become a staple in my kit. It's certainly got the sound.
