At SPAH I have the first models of a new shipment of my own-brand
PowerBender harps, now in a range of popular keys: Low F, G, A, C. I'll be
selling D models from my website soon. They are still at the original price
of $30.
The new batch are made by a different Chinese manufacturer to my earlier
own-brand Powerbender: Kong Sheng. This company uses welded reeds (copied
from Suzuki technology). Their 10-hole harps are superior in playability and
durability to any other Chinese diatonic right now.
Admittedly that's not saying a lot! These harps are still not up to the
level of Hohner, Suzuki or Seydel. But quality is definitely improving among
some makers in China, and the Kong Sheng harps are a notable step up from
the general level.
I only have 10 of these harps with me at SPAH, 2-3 in each key. Track me
down if you want to get one; I'll be at the Suzuki stand most of the day,
then fly home tomorrow.
I also have my PowerBender Book/CD at a special SPAH price of $20 (50% off
the web price).
For chromatic players I have my new book/CD "Play Irish Music on the C
Chromatic", also at half-price.
