Re: [Harp-L] Country Tuning Model

[John Watts <coast2coastmusic@xxxxxxxxx>]

The "BL" in the Hohner code stands for "blister pack", referring to the packaging, and is on all of the blister packed models.  The Country Tuned Special 20 will also have "CT" in the stock number.

The case (battleship grey plastic) will have a yellow circular sticker stating the key. Then on the one end, it will have an oblong white sticker with the words country tuned...and usually a price code. The harp (itself) will be punched in small letters approx. 1/16th" (1.5 mm) in size with............   ct
I have trouble (in a pinch) finding them in stores..especially in the more obscure tunings, so I just get standard Richters and change them myself. But mail order? No problemo..........usually.
