Hi all, I'm trying to locate a good supplier of bushman delta frost in the UK as I fancy giving one a go. Any ideas? Amazon and eBay don't seem to supply other than from the US. They seem to be a rarity over here in England!

If you can't get one, the nearest to it would be the Suzuki HarpMaster.

Thanks chaps. I've been thinking about the Suzuki's so I may end up with one next but I'm intrigued by the Phosphor bronze reeds of the Bushman and fancy one in D as a taster. If I can't buy through a UK outlet I'll try Sweetwater. Thanks again. \m/

Same reedplates in several Suzuki harps. The Bluesmaster, the promaster, and the harp master. All available I'm the UK.

Buy from someone who has them in stock. There have been some supply issues in the past. There are more than a few people who have had some angry exchanges over harps that never showed up.
Suzuki, depending who you ask, makes the Bushman, or at least a nearly identical harp, using phosphor bronze reeds. (Suzuki makes the Delta Frost, Seydel the Soul's Voice).
There are endless threads arguing this point, and I'm not saying don't buy a Bushman, just be careful. They are supposed to be nice harps, but if you search the forum archive you'll find some very negative customer experiences.

Suzuki now makes the Harpmaster with phosphor bronze reeds rather than brass.
