I'll take the Marine Bands. All of them.

A few years ago I bought a batch of harps in a music store in Rock Island,
IL. I bought chromatics, echos, octaves, etc. All had 1969 prices and I was
given a discount of 2/3 off the price marked. I got 25-30 harps for $175.
They're not harps I use very often but I sure have a pile of them. And they
made a great tax deduction.
