[Harp-L] The Manji and the Crossover

[Tony Eyers <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Usually I keep opinions to myself, and am better for it. But this one 
has been brewing, so I'll get it off my chest.

It's about the Suzuki Manji and the Hohner Crossover. I have several of 
each, have used them in a variety of settings, some demanding, and am 
getting to know them.

They each have faults, but are, in my view, just head and shoulders 
above well known cheaper models.

The thing I don't get is this. Why don't more people play these new 
instruments? They cost more, for sure. But not that much more. And they 
seem to last.

If you play Lee Oskars, Big Rivers, Marine Bands, Special 20s (all 
decent instruments for their price), then do yourself a favour. Get a 
couple of Crossovers. Or a couple of Manjis. Or both. You'll never look 
back.

At least, I don't think so.
