[Harp-L] Harmonicas Harmonicas Harmonicas

[Rod Ford <rodford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
My brother Wayne who passed away some years ago, was in fact a bass 
player who worked with a well known Australian Harmonica player (in 
Australia at least) called Horrie Dargie.
My brother Wayne developed a passion for the harmonica which continued 
all through his life.
In this time he collected
2 x TOMBO  Dragon-Fly Contrabass Harmonicas,
1 x TOMBO Alto Pipe Horn (Electric with volume control)
1 x HOHNER Super 64 Chromonic
1 x HOHNER Super 64 X
1 x HUANG Professional 1248 (3 chromatic octaves)
1 x HOHNER Super Chromonica (Chromatic)
1 x TOMBO Lee Oskar

I have held onto all the instruments for nearly 10 years with the pipe 
dream that one day I may learn to use them myself. I have a small 
recording studio that I thought the harmonicas might "one day" might be 
used in.

 However as a professional drummer of 40 years, I have realized that 
this is one "pipe dream" that in all probability is not going to happen.

 I have toured with Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel (Guitarists), Ebehardt 
Weber (german electric double bass), recorded with Tommy Emannuel (his 
first album called Pee- Wee Clarke and Friends) and Australian Jazz band 
called Galapogos Duck, and have a list of "pipe dreams" concerning only 
the drums, that would take 3 lifetimes to achieve.

In an effort to bring my "dreams" down to 2 lifetimes, I am now looking 
to sell these instruments, and would appreciate some feedback on what 
they are worth, and where the best place/places (including ebay), might 
be to sell them.
