[Harp-L] Harp-L Digest, Vol 247, Issue 6 East Top Harmonica (Mike Rogers)

[Richard Hammersley]

I have a few East Tops including a 10 hole in G, several of the Brendan Power branded 13-hole ones with an extra low octave at the bottom and a chromatic. They all play well and I haven’t had any issues with any of them. I would say they are of comparable quality to the big brands out of the box, despite being markedly cheaper. The standard 10-hole cover plates are quite close to the reed plates and open at the ends, which some people may not like. I have also been happy with the service – they ship from China to the UK, not sure about USA.
Best wishes
Richard

I have students using East Top harps.  They seem fairly rugged, but haven't
played them.  Has anyone tried them and are how do they compare with more
espensive harps?  Just curious.  They sound fine, but these aren't
experienced players.
