Re: [Harp-L] Hohner Blues Harps/MBs same in '69? When was SP20 born?

[Larry Marks <larry.marks@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I played Blues Harps when they first came out. They did, if you will 
recall, have a plastic comb. I went through them really fast and 
attributed it to the thinner reeds they were supposed to have. I didn't 
blow out the Marine Band reeds at anywhere the same rate, but I hated 
the wood comb which was largely untreated and had to be filed down 
regularly. In 1967, I bought a set of Hohner Orchester II harps (the 
Orchester I was a minor harp). These had a metal comb and really lasted 
forever. As a matter of fact, I still have a few of them and they still 
play well.
