[Harp-L] re:B radical

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lets put things in perspective with wait times to get a B-Radical harp.

On average some of you may have waited a year or more to receive your  
product.  Your only sacrifice is the price of the harp and some  
patience.

Brad had to wait 10 years to bring it to market.  I remember he went  
off the radar around the time I was just getting into the custom and  
repair business.
People were wondering what became of Brad Harrison.  Brad was nice  
enough to send me an email congratulating me when I got into the  
business.
I recall him saying he and his associates were working on something  
big but had to keep it secret.  That was back in 2000.

He sacrificed his job, his home, his wife to bring us the B-Radical.   
How many of you have made any of those sacrifices to get one.

I can understand the frustration wondering if your order has fallen  
through the cracks and forgotten. The years of ownership will soon  
pass the year or more of wait.

 Each harp is made for you exclusively by hand. Your name, not mass  
consumer, is on the work order.

I don't own a B-Radical. Haven't talked to Brad in years or have any  
affiliation with the company.  I do know what it's like to work in  
profession where quality will make or
break the company.  Don't force the company into becoming a mass  
market business.  That wasn't Brad's dream.
