Re: [Harp-L] Chromatic Comparo



I would put a slightly different spin on this. I own both and I think there is a real difference -- whether it is worth the price difference would depend on how much money you have lying around and which one you happen to like best. I know there are folks who actually prefer the 64 over the 64x (regardless of price).

I really like the aesthetics of the 64x, not just the way it looks, but the way it feels and sounds when I'm playing it. I think the bottom octave is stronger on the 64x. It is also more buzzy down there (I happen to like that). The mouth piece is more rounded (which I prefer), and the instrument is more photogenic to my eye. So, it would depend on individual taste as well as how important the extra $100 or so is to you.

Any A/B comparison experience between the Super 64 and the Super64 X would be appreciated. Is the X worth the extra coin?

I've always played the Super 64.
