[Harp-L] Re: The Future of Blues Harmonica?

Michael,
 
The name of the guy who wrote the message I quoted from fell away. Sloppy of me. Matthew Smart, not you (if I didn´t get all mixed up).

If they made a great diatonic harmonica that Lasts or where it was Possible and even Easy to change individual reeds, I agree, $300 would be a great deal. But hey, harmonica production has only been going on for about 150 years so any ... decade now we will probably see a T Ford.

Cheers,
Martin

Martin,
If you are talking to me, what I am trying to say is Suzuki should have made a good harmonica and charged me more for it, instead of charging me a lot of money for a bad one.  I am looking for value.  $185 for a bad harmonica is way too much money, no matter how brilliant the IDEA behind the harp is.  $300 for a great harmonica with a brilliant idea behind it is well worth it, imo.
