Re: [Harp-L] harp

["Rick Dempster" <rick.dempster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian Collard kindly loaned me his CX12 (sorry Ian, it was in the car after all Thursday...will drop it in soon...weekend kinda got away from me) I love it and will definitely get one.
Something no one has mentioned that I've noticed, is that they're so incredibly light! I thought the box was empty! So what is so different about them that they bend so easily?
Any opinions about the CX12 jazz?

In addition to the virtues Vern mentions, the CX-12 is also airtight, produces a loud, fat sound easily, and bends notes more readily than many other chromatic models.

What makes the Hohner CX-12 Black  
such a great harp to use?
 
 I'm a firm believer that an artist can take a dollar harp and
produce beautiful music from it and a beginner can take a $200.
harp and produce garbage. its the player not the instrument.
so on that note can I be convinced that the above is worth it?
also anyone try the hohner trumpets harp, which i believe was
recently discontinued ?
