4000 orders. Damn that's a lot of cash from people that the owner of Harrison Harmonicas has had. If you take it that some people paid in full up front and other simply made a deposit for one or more harps. Average it out at say $50 per order that comes in at $200,000USD.
I only hope these people get their harps. Although I seriously doubt that they will.

Santa, I can't say what they are, cause when I worked there I had to sign a bunch of non-disclosure papers, but the numbers aren't right.
but There are a lot of orders. There are a lot of orders that have been filled. A lot of orders have not. But those numbers quoted above are off by quite a bit.
I know exactly how many there are. I counted them. Maybe someday I can say more...

To all who are wondering about their outstanding orders and such, here is an e-mail I received from HH earlier today:
"Dear valued customers,
Harrison Harmonicas has made a name for its B-Radical harps and earned a reputation for making a top-quality instrument. That commitment will continue but with a different company. The B-radical is a very expensive instrument to create, something we weren't able to anticipate when we set our price in pre-production. Even as we began to meet and sometimes even exceed our production goals, there were obstacles we were unable to overcome. It is with a heavy heart I say Harrison Harmonicas is no longer able to continue as a company.
However, another innovative American company with a reputation for manufacturing excellence has purchased the B-Radical harmonica and will build the B-radical as well as other HH-concept models. They are committed to - and with 49 years of manufacturing experience are capable of - carrying forward the revolution we started.
The new company has expressed a firm commitment to filling our backorders. It will be sending out a communication to you in the coming weeks, you should be hearing from them soon via email announcing the new home and how backorders will be handled.
Thank you for your support."
Hopefully, this helps
-Sam

Big Daddy Ray is right, Randy Sandoval is outrageously good and works his ass off for his customers....
I've never seen someone like him, and I've seen with my own eyes that he works the all night (literally) to produce on of the best custom harp I've ever seen

Well, that's that then. I wish I could say that I didn't see it coming. Looks like I will be putting a brand new, never used B-rad in Bb up on ebay soon. I guess, in a way, I should consider myself lucky.
