Hey Mad dog,
I'm not sure what the story is from Hohner, but my order (a single C Crossover) came through very late (after Christmas). Just before Christmas I had asked a friend of mine, who had just returned from visiting the Hohner factory in Germany, if he had any news about the status of the Crossover line. He said Hohner was "having trouble" with the Crossover harps.
Now, I don't pretend to know what that means, but my Crossover harp which finally arrived isn't nearly as great as I was expecting it to be. Yes, it can OB fairly well out of the box and is very nicely tuned, but it was pretty breathy for what was billed as a "near custom" and spectacular playing harp. It IS a good harp, but will need some tweaking to make it really rock.
Maybe Steve Baker has better information about the Crossover. Steve?

Subject: [Harp-L] Crossovers Over?
My order for 2 Marine Band Crossovers through Musicians Friend was only
partially filled. I go a C delivered a couple weeks ago and can see what
all the talk is about. I love it! For the A I ordered, I just got a
canceled noticed. I called MF and they said the Crossovers have been
discontinued. The only place I can find on the internet that has some in
stock are "used" at E-Bay. Is Hohner going to make these beauties again.
Why did they stop?
