Re: [Harp-L] Bob Dylan Signature Harmonica Series for Hohner



BLOW ME, IT'S BOB DYLAN'S HARMONICA


Billboard reports Bob Dylan is for the first time endorsing a line of
harmonicas made by Hohner. The harmonicas will be called the Bob Dylan Signature
Series and feature Dylan's embossed signature. In addition to the Signature
Series, Hohner will be selling 25 sets of seven harmonicas and 100 individual
harmonicas. Each is hand signed by Dylan and both are set to go on sale in
October.


And I bet they will all sound like a piece of shite! So, what is the point Hohner USA is trying to make here? What we need is an good instrument, and not a toy signed by somebody who never knew how to play anyway. This marketing ploy by a company that gave us the Marine Band, the Deluxe and the Golden Meldoy is, in my opinion, pathetic and, yes, insulting when Seydel, Suzuki and others are trying to match, one has to reckon with some success, these fine harmonicas.
