Yeah, the question gets asked in different ways, but people always chime in. (The search function isn't too bad if you know what you're looking for.)

So, what's my favorite harp to play? Sometimes I have an answer for that, but right now I'm in flux. I'm not an overblower. I like the feel of Lee Oskars, as long as I keep my mustache trimmed. I've got a Bb and a C that I'm really fond of, a little less so my LO G. The last few days I've been playing my Fm Natural a lot though. I still love my Seydel LLF too, and I've got a SP20 B that plays really well. I love the sound of my E Marine Band but it tears up my lips in just a song or two. I really need to sand it down.

I have a C Marine Band that I really like. It's the first Marine Band that I baught. I never had any problem with it I never rip my lips on it and the comb never swell.

I gave up on MB's recently after getting a couple of duff ones and getting GM's and SP20's instead.

The other week I got a Seydel Solist Pro in G. What a sweet harp! Its my new fave by far and I've decided they're the harps for me.

I'm loving my Suzuki harpmaster in Bb. I've got a few in different keys and there all good.

Also Hohner Crossover in C is awesome but I recently got a new one in A and the comb seems lots more laminated/sealed and I don't much like it, it still plays fine but the feel is not as cool as my year old C.

My personal favorite to play is a Bushman Delta Frost, key of C. My favorite harp to listen to is a Hohner Marine Band 1896 played in about any key by a top-notch player.

I've been learning seriously for 3 years and thought I'd start with a really good instrument, Seydel Noble. Bought a couple of Seydel silvers and really liked them but hard to play the upper register. Got more keys in less expensive harps, Lee Oskars, Hohner pro-harps and special 20's. Have finally stumbled on the very best for me, The Hohner Marine Band!
