So I just opened my Musician's Friend January catalog to the harmonica page....and lo and behold, they have the Deuce and a Quarter in A going for $40 right now. I can't post a link to it here at work, but I can tell you the item number is 502508.
There's my Merry Christmas gift to you fellas! ;-)

A deuce and a quarter used to be an Electra 225, but I have a feeling we aren't talking Buicks.

LOL. I thought the same thing when I first saw the harp. But man it's a nice looking harp, and the ones I've heard on YouTube are pretty sweet sounding too.

That was the harp of choice for TNFrank.
It's an MS harp.

"That was the harp of choice for TNFrank."
Now that's funny. Not knowing who TNFrank is/was, I went googling and found something really funny.
"Biker Bar Harp":) Some day, when warm weather returns, I will have to take & post a picture of my Kawasaki with my Peavey Triumph strapped on the back as I head out to a Biker Bar Jam with a box full of Suzukis.
I fear I may very well be the Biker Bar Harp poster child.
No intent to highjack your thread Hawk. the Musician's Friend website still has the 225 up @ $54.99. Nice looking harp. If it is indeed an MS, $40 seems about right. It's a shame the MS reed plates underwent such an enormous price increase.

I hope that TNFrank wasn't the same guy contributing to the Glock forum:

"Heavy-duty chrome reed plates (2.25 mm)
Key of A"
Is it chrome reed plates with brass reeds? Not an MS harp.
Now it's $60

Right you are. Where's that $40 coupon????
Please don't tell me I'm going too have to find the catalog. Xmas and a kid home from college, I can barely find the refrigerator.

The catalog had price of 59.99 with a $20 instant rebate. Course with it being the January catalog, that might not be available til then, and maybe only via phone and not online.

That was absolutely THE TNFrank on the glock forum. None other. Totally the stuff he was into.

What was wrong with his post on the Glock forum? I read it and it appeared to me that he was giving correct advice on crimping.

That's a hobby that has been put in the closet. I used to reload my own 22/250 rounds. It was amazing how you could improve the accuracy of target loads. By floating my barrel and tweaking my loads I went from just about a half dollar size group down to a dime size at 100 yards. Wait we were talking about black and chrome hohners, sorry.
I just looked and they're $39.99

the chrome plated reed plates work best on any of the MS series. i have a pro MS i really like w/ those plates. if you emboss/burnish them the brass often shows through the plating And yes, the reeds themselves are brass.
i think i fixed Hawks Deuce, i know that i fixed someones, but fail to recall the chrome plating. so many harps, so little time.....

Not mine....I've never had one, though I craved one since I first laid eyes on it. Maybe you're thinking of my Blue Midnight? Mark, aren't those plates the same ones they put in the Meisterklasse MS?

that's right. i did your Blue Midnight. i've only had one cup of coffee so far...please bear w/ me.
i did someones Deuce and now i remember what it looks like. Black covers, Chrome plates. a Real looker.
yes, the Meisterklasse plates are chrome but work best on less expensive MS harps. Meisterklasse full length covers dull its expressiveness to my ears.

This far into the thread without mention of swapping harps for beef jerky across international borders? I wish TN hadn't gotten to the delete button on so many of his posts. There were some classics. Merry X-Mas TN. Merry X-Mas NOD.
