Re: Subject: [Harp-L] Harrison Harmonicas

===WHAT I ACTUALLY KNOW

What I was told, by a reliable source who was peripherally involved with Harrison but who has no stake in the outcome, was that one of Harrison's creditors (one of their suppliers, that is) took possession of the company to satisfy the debt owed. Brad was removed from both owning and running the company, but will remain as an employee. The new company fully intends to continue producing harmonicas using Harrison's technology and does intend to fill all standing orders.

===WHAT I'M GUESSING ABOUT

At this point, if all the above is true (and I believe that it is), then legal action may be counterproductive, as it will only subject the new owner to additional stresses, time spent, and expenditures and thereby delay the remedy sought. 

Also, as the ownership of the company has changed hands, it i possible that the new owner might not be liable for promises made by the old owner, in which so legal action would not even be possible.

More communication would certainly help, but it may be too soon, again for legal reasons, to say anything in public.

The subject of fraud and credit card refunds aside, isn't there meant to be a company that has bought Harrison Harmonicas and has the intention of carrying on trading and fulfilling orders? 
Any news on that front?
