Re: [Harp-L] SP 20 Life Span

["Don Neal" <donkneal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it just me, or does anyone else have problems with the Hohner cases?  I 
have no problem with the SP20 (though it's far from my favorite) but the 
liner in the cases break free from the case with the least drop.  Is it 
really asking too much for Hohner to use a little more glue, or a better 
glue.  Just my pet gripe for the new year.
