[Harp-L] Re: Thunderbird

[Richard Hunter <turtlehill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Thunderbird is an interesting instrument, but I have a hard time working myself up to spend $100 on a low-pitched harmonica when I can get a very similar sound with an octave doubler, especially when the octave doubler in question (e.g. a Digitech RP) costs less than $100 and works on every harp in my collection.

I suppose there are situations--an acoustic performance, for example--where the octave doubler would be less appropriate than a low-pitched harmonica.  But there's still that $100 thing...
