[Harp-L] Harrison Harps new owner ?

["Danny G newharmonica" <dannyg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I really had high hopes that Brad would pull it off and I feel bad that it didnât work out for him.

All of the harmonica manufacturers that I know about have been in business allot longer than the 40 some odd years mentioned in Brads post
If  Joe took over youâd be buying 45 cal  harps but youâd be able to practice anywhere with the silencer attachment

   Very sad to hear about this because I like the guy personally.  The only
reason I didn't order one of his harps was that he wasn't making the low key
instruments.  If I'm not mistaken, Suzuki offered at one time to buy his
design for a sizable amount of money.  It's possible that they could be the
new owner.  And Brad used to work for Suzuki, I believe.
   But it's anybody's guess.  You could make a case for Hohner or Seydel
aggressively making an offer, too.  If the new owner is an individual, he or
she had better have deep pockets.  I kind of like the image of Joe Leone
taking over the business, myself.
