I bought a sight unseen box of harmonica music that it turns out contains some cool old diatonic stuff and even more cool old chromatic music.
Since I don't play chromatic, I'd be happy to get these things into happy hands. There are music books from the 1920s to 1970, most are Hohner branded.
Here are a few titles.
Quick Success Harmonica Course in Ten Leson, Jack Hammond & James Sexton 1958
Play Harmonica like Jerry Murad 1963
101 Popular Harmonica Solos 1970
Frank Sinatra Song Hits for Hohner Harmonicas (Chromettas and Chromonicas) 1959
Larry Adler Harmonica Favorites 1943
Man of La Mancha 1967
Folk Song Fest for Hohner Chrodomonica
Favorite Pieces for Chromatic Harmonica Chamber Huang 1951
Jerry Murad's Harmonicat techniqu for the super Chromonica 1949
If you are interested feel free to email. If you are on any chromatic forums and wish to let those folks know I'd appreciate that, too.

Hi everyone... I am currently working on my next album, the follow-up to Umbrella Man (which was released in 2007). I'm excited about the songs for this new project,which I am calling Going Somewhere. I'm equally excited about the musicians who are involved in helping it to come to fruition. I've already put down the basic tracks for several songs and written all the songs for the album, but it's going to take significant resources to finish the recording, to master and manufacture it, and to promote it.
So I have started a Kickstarter project to fund the remaining recording, mastering, manufacturing and promotion of the record. I would greatly appreciate any support you can give, whether through a financial contribution, by sharing it on your Facebook or Twitter feed or with your email list, or both.
The inevitable has happened...My Fender Blues Jr. (greenboard)Accutronics reverb tank has sh.. the bed. Does anyone know where I can get a decent online deal for a Ruby Reverb replacement tank to fit my Fender Blues Jr.? thanks in advance

I have an ultra rare Ronette B110 complete with stand for sale or trade . It has a crystal element inside and is in good working condition. These mics are made of some kind of plastic or bakelite and are very light. They were made in Holland. The Ronette B110 is a very collectable mic and is extremely hard to find.
I'm willing to trade it for either a Lone Wolf Harp Attack pedal, Holmes Harp Commander or maybe a Super 64 Chromatic (but only if it's in really great condition).
I'll sell it for £155GBP (approx $240USD) plus shipping. If anyone is interested send me an email: paulandrewroutledge@googlemail.com

I still have 4 sets of Weltmeister Blackbird ((Seydel) reed plates in the key of High Ab. These are the same reed plates as the Seydel Blues Session and will fit those just fine. $38.00 for all 4 sets with free shipping in the USA. E-mail address is in my profile.
I also still have the stainless steel Bushman Steelie (Huang Silvertone) comb if interested.
I believe this may also fit a Marine Band if you drilled some extra holes. I don't believe anyone is offering Stainless Steel combs these days, as they are tough to machine.
$25 and free shipping in the USA. Contact me at the e-mail address in my profile if interested.
I've got a like-new Shure SM57 microphone (sorry, no pic at the moment) with the mic clip, box, bag, etc. Only used it a couple of times to mic an amp. $65 with free shipping in the USA (which seems to be around the average price on Ebay for used ones in worse shape).
Also, I really wanna get rid of the Weltmeister reed plates, which will fit the Seydel Sessions. $30 and they're yours with free shipping in the USA.
TOMBO Ultimo... yep, the one from my YouTube video. Key of C. $25 - free shipping in the USA. Will also give it a good cleaning. The playing in my YouTube video is about the most it's ever been played. Great harp if you like Lee Oskars.
For sale: Electrovoice RE18 mic in excellent condition. Very similar to RE10 and RE15 mics, except it has a larger head/grille so it is much easier to grip. Email me for photos. $75.00 + shipping. Thanks----Dave
Having started to rationalise my harp collection I have decided to sell a few harps. They are all in great condition (as new). Everything except the Low F is less than a couple of months old. The only reason I am selling the Suzuki Promasters is that I am not so keen on metal combs. The Hohner Special 20 is a week old, so many people rave about them I thought I was missing out on something, they are fine but I prefer the Suzuki's. All ultrasonic cleaned.
Suzuki Promaster MR350 key C. £28 Suzuki Promaster MR350 key D. £28 Suzuki Promaster MR350 key Low F. £28 Hohner Special 20 key F. £19
Postage in the UK £2.40 each or free for more than one. Would prefer Uk sales. All with original boxes. Email me if interested mshakeshaft(@)gmail.com remove brackets
I have over $1000 worth of new Hohner harps. If you just want harps that work right and can't afford $100 and above harps! I have SP 20's for $55 Marine Bands at $75 and Crossovers at $85. I set the shape of the reeds, tune them and sand both the drawplate and comb flat. These are very air tight good playing harps!

I have a brand-new Epiphone Valve Jr. that I bought new for $200 four years ago and have only played through a handful of times. I've never gigged with it. I've put a total of half an hour of playing time on it. It works great. I just don't need it. I've got lots of other (small) amps now, including a pair of vintage Premier Twin-8s and an HG2.
I'll have it for sale at HCH 2012. $200 cash. First confirmed HCH registrant to email me at asgussow@aol.com and say "I want it!" will own it.
If you're not familiar with the amp, it looks like this:

I have a Ronette B110 Harp mic listed on ebay. Great mic, super light and really easy to cup. Here's the link to the ebay auction: Ronette B110 Here's the video.

I have a Suzuki G-48 Chromatic listed on ebay at the following link: http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&MyEbay=&gbh=1&guest=1 ---------- Brandon O. Bailey Official Website of Superchucker
I have a Suzuki Olive in C that has been gapped and had the reedplates sanded smooth. The tuning has also been checked. I have no use for it, nor interest in keeping it. Help me fund my HCH trip - $65
I also came across a brand new Low D Marine Band (still in the blister pack). It has the non-sealed comb. I would sell it as-is (in blister pack) for $30. Otherwise, I am willing to put a dymonwood or sealed pearwood comb on it and do any level of custom work (including mods to the coverplates so there is no rattle). Email me for an estimate, etc. It would ship before HCH.
I have four harmonica belt buckles left for $25, a Boss OC-2 for $25, and a Danelectro Chili Dog for $30. The Chili Dog is brand new.
Finally, I have a Hohner C12 case that is in great shape. I actually have two, so I am selling the extra one...they are $42 new, but I would sell this one for $30.
I can't think of anything I'd really need in trade...recording stuff? An Audix Fireball would be great...otherwise I dunno.
FS: First generation Holmes Harp Commander pre-amp. Has one 1/4" output, and one XLR output. Late last year, Ron Holmes gave the unit a tune-up and brought it up to his latest specs.

With the new apprentice I'm tutoring, I'm happy to announce that I (or we) are back into action!
MP is doing a great job in harp repairs - so I'll offer the same service for Europe.
I'm now offering reed replacement for 10EUR plus shipping (which is 4-15EUR depending on the weight).
I can repair almost any model of harps. I'm also officially repairing seydels in the Easter European region. So I can deal with the warranty cases (if the instrument is still under warranty).
I have lowered the price on this highly collectable mic. It's a great mic, super light and really easy to cup. Comes complete with a stand too. It only has just over 24 hours left on ebay. Check it out, if you're looking for a killer mic at a good price.
I have a Suzuki SC-64 I'd like to sell for $275.. This is a stock harmonica that I've tightened the slide clearance as it was leaking very badly. No other tuning or tweaking done. Once owned by Jason Ricci. List price on these was $1199 and was special order from Suzuki. ---------- Spiers Harmonicas

William Clarke’s Pawnshop Bound like you never heard it before!
This month’s HarmonicaWorld newsletter has some amazing footage of a concert we set up in Bristol.
You will see 100 children dressed as the Blues brothers (black suit, black hat, black shoes, black tie, dark glasses, white shirt, white socks, waist chain and knuckle tattoos!) playing William Clarke’s Pawnshop Bound, the Peter Gunn theme, and Bid Sultana all on Harmonica and doing the Blues Brothers Dancing! Show your friends - it could go viral!
There’s also an article on how to set up your new harmonica, a word about skype lessons, and a very special deal on our second Sonny Terry rifffs book!
It’s all right here: http://www.mynewsletterbuilder.com/email/newsletter/1411295693
I have 2 Buddha harps which I received from Chris Michalek in September 2010.
They are Marine Bands in Ab and Eb.
I ordered them to play duets with my son who has been studying flute. It really hasn't worked out for us to play together, so these nice harps sit largely unused.
I can happily keep them, but if you are interested make me an offer. Email in my profile.
The harp has about 5min of playing time on it. The reed plate perimeters are all sanded and smoothed, the reeds have been gapped, and the tuning has been checked.
