Joe says
>The Harpmaster did have yellow brass reeds while the Bluesmaster's were phosphor
>bronze...
in response to
>>...the Harpmaster and Bluesmaster are the same harp, with different
covers--the Harpmaster has covers more like the Marine Band, and the
Bluesmaster more like the Special 20...
I think Joe got it right; phosphor in the Bluesmasters and brass in the
Harpmasters. Also the info given about the covers is incorrect. Harpmasters
employ a Special 20-ish cover design while the Bluesmasters' covers run the full
length of the harp.
As these parts are interchangeable Bushman simply took the phosphor reeds and
the Harpmaster cover and combined them into their Delta Frost model. I like the
tone of the phosphor plates better but find them not qiute as responsive as the
ones in the Harpmaster.
