Re: [Harp-L] Which harps last longest when gigging regularly?



I use Special 20, with my band because they seem to be more durable & last longer. I record with Marine Bands because I like their sound a little better & my MB's are all pimped out by the Filisko method. I do 2 or 3 gigs a week & a special 20 will last a year. Longer in keys I don't use much. My band is super load & I blow hard. I think it helps to keep them clean & well tuned

From Rick Davis:

In your opinion, which 10-hole diatonic harp has the best durability when
played hard with a loud blues band? By "played hard" I mean used in a
couple of gigs per week, and sometimes played louder than you'd like because
of a poor mix. When I can't hear myself I tend to play louder, which
actually makes things worse.


I'm trying Hohner Special 20, Marine Band Deluxe, Big River, and Pro harps.
I'm also trying a few Lee Oskar harps. Which harp last longest for you when
gigging regularly?
