Re: [Harp-L] Hohner Price Increase



Anything metal is a lot more expensive than it used to be. Steel used to scrap at 2 cents per hundred weight now it's about 20 cents a pound. Copper is hovering between 3 and 4 dollars a pound scrap. Zinc makes pennies worth more than their face value. The recent spike in energy prices hasn't helped and the dollar is very weak against world currencies. I'm not sure what Hohner's supposed to do. Sell harmonicas for under cost and make up the difference in volume? fjm
