You've come over to 'the dark side', John! Lovely!
 
Is this your first CX-12? Do you think the tone is ALL from Tony's  
customization or is some of it just from the uniqueness of the CX-12 instrument?  I 
confess I purely my Several Cx-12's (in different keys) (while I  still 
thoroughly enjoying my Super 64's), but I too have a Tenor  C which is 
marvellous. It certainly needs 'tweaking' though, and I'm very  interested in just 
what it is Tony's done for yours.
 
Going from a Renny to a CX-12 would definitely be a major difference, but  
for an everyday gigging chromatic you can't beat the CX-12 line. They're a 
dream  to take apart to clean (hold the shell under warm running water and 
reach inside  with a dedicated soft toothbrush to clean the inside). You'll 
find you'll never  have mouthpiece 'grunge' issues with this instrument as you 
have with ANY other  chromatic. They simply don't exist with the CX since 
it's so simple to wash  out the shell. And that one-piece slide is a marvel 
of ingenuity, while also  being extremely simple to keep clean. 
 
There IS, btw - a CX-12 'fan club' on SM. Please feel free to join us there

Best,

I don't get "cash back" for telling the world about Antony Danecker's   
excellent harmonicas...
He has been fixing my harps for.... What? 21  years now... He is  not 
CHEAP...
But I have not found a better harp  tech..TONY BUILDS GREAT  HARMONICAS.

I just   bought a tenor "C" CX-12 chromatic harmonica... But not  just an   
ordinary one..... It's a harp modified by the master harp tech Antony   
Dannecker....  My goodness... What  a fantastic  instrument....  It's a 
tenor "c" and 
it  GROWELS!
I had a  "270" tenor "C" and that  was  good.... But then some scum bag  
"nicked" it... At a gig...When I  was living in  south-east  Asia...
For many years I have owned  a  four octave "Larry   Adler 16".. 
It has a lovely tone.. But  it  leaks like a  sieve
SO
I needed a decent tenor Chrom in "C" to play   blues in  "G" (Third 
position)
MY GOODNESS...
I got a great    harmonica!
