[Harp-L] Is custom work worth it?

[Owen]

I would like to chime in here as an extremely satisfied customer. Joe made me 3 Stage 1 harps this winter. A,Bb and G. He delivered them 9 days before the expected date! I have played them for a month and they make it difficult to go back and play any of my other Crossovers. It is as if 99% of what a harp should play like is at your command on every hole. The other 1% is my fault, I need to play better to get it. When playing my Crossovers, they give me 80-90% of this. I can finally play blow bends with some consistency. Joe's work is impeccable!!! I will have several more done by Joe in the coming year! These harps will help you to be a better musician. (You need to do the woodsheding)
