Are Suzuki Harpmaster reeds still made of brass?

I have read from a few MBH forum posters that Suzuki switched Harpmaster reed materials from brass to phosphor-bronze like the Bushman Delta Frost (which would make the Harpmaster practically identical to the DF). I know the Bluesmaster has phosphor-bronze reeds, but the Suzuki website still describes the Harpmaster reeds as being brass. Does anyone know the scoop?

Reportedly, the phosphor-bronze reeds are supposed to last longer than the brass ones. Do your experiences back up (or refute) this claim?

Thanks in advance.

A few posts down from this one is a thread titled "Harp Depot is discontinuing all Bushman Products"
About 3/4 down the page or more is a post by Brendan Power.
