[Harp-L] Subject: Re: My Buddha Harps and harp case

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

Andy...Since I've known Chris for years now and own 4 of  his custom harps, 
 not only has he proven to be one of THE most  singularly honest people 
I've ever met through SPAH and the harmonica community,  but each player who 
has looked at my harps, much less picked them up or gone so  far as to play 
them (with my permission), has had this specific reaction: a  resounding 
Wow!...usually followed by: 'these are amazing and beautiful  harps'! 
 
In one instance the player (of my Buddha harps) stated that they  were even 
'too responsive' for him.
 
Because of my unique jaw issues I required different gapping than  most 
other people. Chris goodnaturedly spent the better part of one entire SPAH  
teach-in session setting them up for me, all the while conducting  
conversations and lessons with other people crowding his table...never once  remotely 
losing his cool. He's far more mellow, patient, learned and with a much  more 
rollicking sense of humour than some people might have given him credit for  
in the past...and my experience with him is that respect is a two-way 
street. He  has personally treated me with utmost respect from day one. 
 
I did finally take digital photos of my customized Mexican tooled leather  
harp case and those 4 very beautiful Buddha harps at SPAH...I hope this is 
the  correct way to post them here?:

honorable man who makes a pretty nice custom harp."(snipped)
