[Harp-L] Re:Spec 20 ...Blown reed on Marine band

[eben ross <ebenross@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lare and all...me too...got bad marine bands...Or i guess for this story ..Blues harps

...I sent it back to Hohner....30 day guarantee...they sent me a NEW one (NO CHARGE).

 I called first! The plastic, of the "20", misses the soul of wood...for me... so
repair?  Mick Peace who i found out about on the list is up to
repair... "mike peace" <mmpeace@xxxxxxx>
put in  new reeds for me....nice harp
repairs....I was so shocked ...and have such a pile of spent marine
band /special 20/big rivers with...out of tune and worthless ....draw 2
and 3 hole reeds with metal fatigue. Not a cure for finding the harp
for you....I got a Crossover A , if they are all like it they might be
worth it  (considering replacement for first month...if it ain't a dream,
and i may wake up soon) .....  Mike's custom marine band is a lot like a Crossover . 
        This is a good topic!              Ben Ross    AKA WBjr in CT
Joe is on to something...changing harps....I do not feel will solve blown reed tip!
