Anybody know much about these harps? I ordered one from amazon for 23 bucks and it's a great little harp for that price.PLAYS real well, bends easy and sounds good.Anyway for that price you can't go wrong.Tuning seems a little different than what I'm used to but it's ok.I was just taking a flyer on it and seems I got lucky.

Yeah, I got one on eBay just to fill a gap and it's a great harp. Like you said, slightly odd tuning, but it's a tuning that sounds pretty good to my war. Bends well, with a great wail on the 4-5 draw.
I think they are underrated harps. Better than the Lee oskars (if we are just talking tombo for a while) imo.

Did you get the Mk II version, with the wooden comb? Pat Missin has an interesting review on his website, which also mentions the tuning.
