Re: Cheap harps.



The Hohner Bluesband is made in China and fits the description except that the
covers are marked.  How did you know it was a Hohner?

|   My sister went to the Blues Travelers concert here in New York two days 
| ago.  During the show, the band passed out a box full of harmonicas.  She 
| got one and showed it to me.  It is a Hohner but made in China.  It looks 
| just like a Special 20 except the covers are much closer to the comb.  
| The covers have absolutely nothing written on them except for the numbers 
| 1-10 in the usual place.
| 
|   It was in C (of course), and played okay, but response was terrible.  
| Playing hard or trying to bend just choked the reeds.  My sister said 
| though that Popper led the crowd through a collective music making 
| session with everyone drawing and blowing chords on cue.  
| 
|   Does anyone know about this cheap knock-off?
