Dmitry: If I understand your question, the answer is that Deak Harp stands for himself...

Not really.

You know, English my 3-rd language;)
Anyway, I know word "Harp", which americans for some strange historical reason use for harmonica.

BUT ... I don't know is it still polite to ask what in american english word "Deak" mean?

Proper name?

I am so bummed I can't make this... I had to rearrange too much stuff to get to the Harmonica Collective that I can't wangle this one..

Deak is fantastic! I've been able to hang out with Deak late during several HCHs. He is a character and an awesome guy/player. You guys that are going are going to have a blast!

harmonica is sometimes called harp because it is actually a French harp....

Deak, it's not a word, it's a name. (Well, it's a word too, it means to dodge.) As a name it means
"The dusty one; a servant.", but what's in a name?

Another confusing name- Tiffany Harp, a female harmonica player from Brazil, not a harp made by Tiffany (I wonder if there is such a thing... I know Tiffany makes some odd objects de art occasionally.)

Kingo, now if we could just get some reed work done on it! Funny, I thought a Tiffany harp would be fancier, maybe diamond stud screws or on top. It's got silver lids at least, and maybe the reed plates. No way they made the reeds of silver, did they? I'm not sure I like the grain on that comb with that cover either. Maybe I'll have to do my shopping at Lalique.

(Hmm, I wonder how high end the high end harp market goes...)

They come up on eBay from time to time. I never felt like spending the money to find out what was inside...
