I'm not sure whats left in stock with the Juke model. When i try and add the key of A and D to my basket it just highlights in red and wont let me.
I have emailed them to ask why and i've asked when the sale will end.I will update on here when they email me back.
I did however sneak an Ab onto the credit card, it has to be done at those prices. With VAT i paid £22 and i got free shipping. At the regular price it would have cost over £40.
If there good harps i will probably get more pay day!!

There is only Ab B C Db E Eb F F# G left in stock.
Apparently the sale is only while stocks last.
And there ain't much left. Grab em while you can.

Alright you dogs. I wake up and read this. I have never heard of these harps or this music company. I was looking for a "B" harp though so I bought one. $30 shipped ain't bad.

I only have one..;-).What frightens me is the way 200 dollars of harp toys has to be counteracted by 300 dollars of shoes

If i've got the money my wife is cool. Its when its a week until pay day and she knows i'm broke with only money for petrol left.
I told her i ordered a harp a month ago and it hasn't arrived yet so when my Ab Juke arrives in a couple of days(its been despatched already and assuming its coming form within the U.K.)
i'll just say to her "yay my new harp that i ordered a month ago finally arrived, just can't get the postal staff these days" (i apologise for any postal workers on here, i'm sure you do a steller job but you understand right? )
As long as the utilities and general bills are paid the rest of my money is mine, it's not much but it allows me a couple of luxurys a month.

Wow!!! my harp arrived this morning 24hrs after ordering,now that is service.
On the whole i'm pretty impressed with the Juke model.
It comes in a really nice hard soft case if that makes sense? its a hard case but there is a soft lycra outside to it, a bit like a sunglasses case, with a zip closing to it.
The harp itself is soft on the lips but i did have to gap the lower holes a little. It's airtight and on the whole a decently made harp esspecially for half price.
Would i buy them at the normal price of £37?
The jury is still out,i'm a die hard Seydel man so its got alot to live up to and i've only had it an hour so i'm gona put it through its paces now.
It does come with key label stickers in a floresent yellow colour which is a bonus too:o)

I customized one of these for someone from the forum. It was a cheap harp. Compareable to Hohner MS harps.

Thanks, Kevin. I was tempted by the sale but was unable to find a critical review - and I'd probably send it to you anyway

Got mine last night. Reeds were all over the place. Tolerences between the reeds and the plate are not tight. Not even close to a $60 harp at regular price. I gave $29.93USD.I spent time this morning embossing to tighten it up and straightened one of the reed plates that was warped. A Manji for $11 more is a way better choice. What chromaticblues said. They won't be a player in the market with this.
