Re: [Harp-L] Back from the dead!!

[George Miklas <harmonicat@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Stephen,

Both Al Smith and I now play the SUZUKI
BCH-48<http://www.suzukimusic.com/harmonicas/bch-48/>on stage for
certain songs in our respective acts.  I can tell you from my
personal experience that this is a fantastic instrument and I LOVE IT.
This is an instrument which contains all 48 chords along with their bass
notes.  The chords are very rich on the SUZUKI
BCH-48<http://www.suzukimusic.com/harmonicas/bch-48/>because they
contain 2 bass notes plus a 5-note chord.  There is no
comparison in the sound when you put the SUZUKI
BCH-48<http://www.suzukimusic.com/harmonicas/bch-48/>up against any of
the models you sited including the Huang Chordet 20 or
the Victory.

Checkout the SUZUKI BCH-48 <http://www.suzukimusic.com/harmonicas/bch-48/>here
