I am excited to announce that I now have six new and exciting CNC Milled Acrylic Comb options featuring DuPont™ Corian® and Samsung Staron®.
As an interesting side note, a few weeks ago I was contacted by DuPont because they noticed that I was using “Corian” on my website. It seems that “Corian” has become the de facto name for acrylic counter top material, much the same as Kleenex has become synonymous with tissues. The fact is there are other acrylic counter top material manufacturers out there besides Corian, such as Hi Macs and Samsung. DuPont was very polite. They did not have any record of my having purchased Corian from them (I purchased it from one of their distributors) so they wanted to be sure that the combs I was advertising as Corian were authentic. I immediately provided with them with the name of my vendor and everything is fine. My hat’s off however to DuPont for being so thorough. They have every right to protect their good name.
Their timing was actually perfect though because I had just placed an order with my CNC machine shop for some more combs. So, in the interest of accuracy and the protection of trademark rights the following colors are now available made from DuPont™ Corian®:
• Nocturne (Black) • Festival (White with Multi-Colored Speckles) • Mandarin (Orange) • Atlantis (Blue with Grey and White Flakes)
And in addition, the following colors are available in Samsung Staron® • Sanded Sunset (Medium Red with Red, White and Black Flecks) • Sanded Pine (Medium Green with Green and Black Flecks)
I was able to place a much larger order for combs than I have in the past therefore was able to get better pricing from my machine shop. These combs are now available for the very reasonable price of $22.95 each. Pictured are the MS-Series combs and the Special 20 combs. I will pick up the Golden Melody and Marine Band combs tomorrow or Wednesday. I expect them to be equally beautiful and will post some pictures ASAP.

Alright, it is June and I've updated my custom site. I am "clearing out" the last of my stock of extra harps to start preparing for SPAH.
Right now, there are three options on the site...
Summer Special 20's for $85
In Stock harp from $80 to $175 in various models
Quicksilver Customs
As soon as I run out of Speical 20's, I will discontinue that offer. I will update the In Stock harps as I have time, but have no plans of doing any more before SPAH.
Jon Harl made this one. It's super. I just have another A harp that I like better....not that it has better custom work done to it---I just like it better than the Session Steel. New-$145 plus backlog time.
Available now for SOLD w/Priority Mail Paid.
Contact info in profile.

For Sale - Fantastic custom made G-Rig Mic from Front and Center Mics. The video below explains the wonderfulness of this mic, in case you aren't aware.
This one is made from Tiger Maple and Black Walnut with pearl inlay position markers for the air chamber, vintage ceramic element. Custom cut for a Seydel 1847 but can easily be modified for Hohner or whatever you use with a few minutes of sanding. The mic does exactly what the video illustrates and sounds great. I fell into a new direction with a new band and I'm not doing enough solo work to justify keeping it, especially as I need to fund the new project. Hate to loose it but needs must weigh out. I also have an immaculate Sonny Jr. Super Cruncher for sale.
A great custom made microphone that is as great sounding as it is visually stunning. $300 with free shipping anywhere in the lower 48.

Shaker Mad Dog Mic. for sale. Includes 1/4" female/female adaptor and storage bag. Brand new, tested once to make sure it works. $100 shipped to CONUS ---------- TheKrowe
I purchased this amp about 2 1/2 months ago directly from Brian Purdy at Harpgear. This amp sounds fantastic! Reason I am selling is because I thought I would be gigging more with it. Family life and work is unfortunately preventing me from playing.
It has about 45-60 minutes total playing time and is in immaculate/pristine condition. In fact I am selling this amp with the Tuki cover(great cover BTW). I have all the original cartons and shipping package.
If interested please email me at cansara1@yahoo.com Price: $900 US dollars ConUs only(this include the amp cover which costs about $70 alone)
I have no pictures posted because I can't figure out how to post on this board. If you need some email me, or just check Harpgear.com.

Here's a gemstone comb that Chris Reynolds used to make. He discontinued these combs due to fragility issues so you can't find them around anymore. I actually broke this comb from 2 different places, but supergluing pieces back together seem to have worked just fine. And for the future, just don't drop your harmonicas and the combs won't break. $10, paypal. Message me at tolga7t@gmail.com
Here's a stock photo from Mr. Reynolds' old website (look at Chyrsocolla)

This harp is best for someone a bit of a restoration project.
I lost this harp and it spent some time outside in the garden so the top cover plate needs cleaned up a bit and it will probably need a bit of gaping and tuning to get it back to it's former glory.

I am NO longer selling the double trouble amplifier. Finally had an opportunity to gig with it last week. This amp is fantastic! In fact, I purchased a harpgear 2 as well, and just received it the mail this morning.
Looking for a quick sale on two excellent mics. Both were modded and checked by the fabulous Greg SuperHeumann. Worth much more but asking $120 for the pair. Need cash for a very special amp. Thanks. Email joekeefe18@gmail.com
I have a bunch of harps up at http://www.mikefugazzi.com/fr_harps for sale. This includes several that are pretty much ready to ship within the next week. These are extra harps I've slowly worked up to speed, customs I set up to help fund my SPAH trip, and some bulk Special 20's I purchased and am reselling with an initial set up. In addition I have:
Quicksilver Golden Melody in Eb - overbend setup tuned to 442 ET - $150
Customer decided they'd rather have a MB than a GM, so the name on the plates/covers will be etched out...harp is finished and ready to go...goes for $200 with a 3 month wait typically.
Tech 21 Bass Driver DI - $135
I love this pedal and it mint with all packaging, etc. I ended up getting a Para Driver DI, which is the same thing with a mid control (do not drink and eBay!). This is a fantastic tool for playing straight to the PA and getting anything from great cleans to Bassman-like breakup. The routing and mixing options are fantastic...and it runs on batteries for when you hit up jams!
A very good friend of mine who is a guitar player is selling his VHT Special 6. The amp is immaculate, with no more than a couple of hours on it. I have too many amps already and no room for this one, so I thought I would see if I could help him out and list it here. There are absolutely no marks or blemishes. He did remove the rear grill to access the tubes. (It was held on with staples, easy to reinstall.) All box, papers, footswitches, etc. are included. The 6V6 is stock but the 12AX7 was replaced with a Mesa.
$150 + shipping in the lower 48. You can find photos here:
I recently picked up about 30 Brand New Hohner Big Rivers that I am offering with your choice of any CNC Milled comb – Aluminum or Acrylic (DuPont™ Corian® orSamsung Staron®) for only $35.00 each.
In my opinion, The Big River is a very underrated harmonica. It has the same reed plates as the MS Blue Harp and the cover plate design is essentially identical to the Seydel 1847. Big Rivers are tuned to Compromised Just Temperament making it suitable for all styles of music – Blues, Folk, Rock and Country. For more information about tunings, visit www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?1877
About the only “wrong” with the Big River is the injection molded plastic comb. Fortunately I have just received a new supply of CNC Milled combs – 4 colors of Aluminum and 9 Colors of Acrylic, so the comb issue is a moot point. (I have wood and laser cut acrylic combs available too)
The Big Rivers are available in the following keys and comb colors:
MS Big River Harps Key Qty. Low F# 1 Low Eb 2 G 7 Ab 2 A 6 Bb 1 C 6 Db 1 Eb 1
CNC Milled MS-Series Combs
Material Color Aluminum Blue Aluminum Black Aluminum Red Aluminum Clear (Silver) DuPont™ Corian® Nocturne (Black) DuPont™ Corian® Atlantis (Blue with Flecks) DuPont™ Corian® Festival (White with Flecks) DuPont™ Corian® Mandarin (Orange) DuPont™ Corian® Platinum (Silver with White & Grey Flecks) DuPont™ Corian® Fossil (Tan with crushed shells) DuPont™ Corian® Gibraltar (Tan with Pink Hues) Samsung Staron® Sanded Pine (Medium Green with Flecks) Samsung Staron® Sanded Sunset (Medium Red with Flecks)
Any Key. Any Comb. A Great Harp built to suit your taste. Only $35.00 plus $3.00 Shipping World Wide. Buy two or more and I will cover the shipping charges. If you want 4 or more, contact me and let’s talk.

I recently got some new CNC Milled Aluminum Combs made. I placed a pretty big order which enabled me to drive my cost of production down. Therefore I have lowered my price on the milled aluminum combs to $21.95 each!
I have a particular fondness for the blue. All of these harps will be available on my website shortly. The combs are already listed.

Just an update to the vintage Astatic model 30 I have listed on page 5. I just opened it up and realized that it's got a Shure white Controlled Reluctance element, not CM as I originally listed.
Price is $249. I'll ship it within Europe for free; $5 gets it to the States. Paypal payment greatly preferred. I'll be happy to e-mail more pic. mnessmith AT gmail DOTT com.
I have a mint HG2 amp from HarpGear with Tuki cover. I've had it near a year and have gigged it twice. I've gone to an ampless setup and will sell it for $500 shipped in the states!
I hardly gig anymore and don't see that picking up (I always say it will, but I'd rather tweak harps and do the random solo show here and there).
i have a Dave Kott Astatic "biscuit" with that exact same chameleon paint job and a chrome grille. oh, and a white CR in it too. Dave Kotts paint doesn't scratch or flake off.
Attention prospective buyers: the JT-30 above looks way cooler in person. ---------- MP affordable reed replacement and repairs.
