Hi,

I think that the post of the rising cost of harps is more like "the rising cost of harps in U.S.A".

I am curious to know how the market is on other countries (remeber, as Adams says there are 190 countrys in MBH).

The gear cost in Chile:

Shure 520DX: $240 USD
Shure SM58: $140 USD
Xover: $70 USD
MBD: 60 USD
MB, Sp20, GM, MS: 40 USD
Fender 600: $340 USD
VHT Special 6: 320 USD

Hi Rogonzab

Australian prices:

520 dx is $189 according to pro music australia website
I'm sure I've been asked for more and refused to buy. It's been along time since I was interested though.
Same site says sm58 is $169, or $189 with switch
Crossover is RRP $92 (best price I can find in Oz is $82.80)
MBD is RRP $76 ($67.50)
Sp20, MB, MS $55 ($49.50)
GM $53 ($47.70)
Champ 600 $399

These are Australian $ prices so make that a little more in USD. It's close enough to parity but $100 Aussie is about $105 US
