Goog some Paul, real great....
I will. I probably shouldn’t tell you this — but I picked up my first harp in Lawrence — yeh, thats right, I’m one of those.
I would say about 68 I got a Chromatic and an echo harp and messed with them for a year or so with no real focus on getting anywhere with them as I was busy with the world.
No harp or instrument until last fall I saw that those same instruments weren’t a whole lot more then they were back then. Got a good Hohner Chromatic, an Echo harp which is still a simpleton hoot, and a nice Tremelo. Had fun for a few weeks and then the dam broke. About ten diatonics later I am signed up for on-line lessons, seduced by the complexity of diatonics for someone who knows no music, and getting into Mad Dogs, Smokey pocket amps and now into the bigger stuff. Look up the amps being made by Lone Wolf Blues in Louisiana if you want something to think about.
I do love the Seydels but with Buckeye, Shaker, Lone Wolf and others there is a lot of this stuff in the USA now.
