I live in London and I haven't bought a harp in more than 5 years, except for a quick visit to Amazon last year.
I used to buy them mail order from the UK, but I've forgotten the supplier's name.
Could some British forum members refresh my memory of the best places to buy harps in the UK?
Thanks.

Andrew, you should also have a look at Thomann.co.uk, which is the EU's largest online music shop. They offer the lowest prices on Hohner and Seydel products (they do not sell Suzuki), provide a free extended warranty, and have free shipping (with a minimal order size). Their customer service is excellent.

Yes, I second Eagle Music. Reasonable Prices, good service and £2.99 delivery on single harp.
Have also used Harmonicas Direct and they are very good too. Same price as Eagle music for say a Golden Melody £32.99 but £3.50 for a single packet.

I would 100% vouch for https://theharmonicacompany.com/
Amazing customer service, very nice people. They accepted a return on some harps that weren't working for me with no questions asked, despite not having the boxes anymore. Seriously good company.

Harmonicas Direct is where I buy all mine. Peter Blyth is a really nice bloke to deal with and his customer service is top notch.

I'm in London SE5. There's nothing cheap here, so it will have to be mail order.

Another vote for theharmonicacompany.com I bought a low C Thunderbird from them and it was delivered next day free delivery. And they were cheaper than either Amazon or eBay.

At the risk of starting an argument I buy my Manjis from Japan via eBay.
Never had an issue works out a lot cheaper.
I bought the 7 harp kit initially and then 4 Low tuned harps. Just a few bits and bobs since then.
The delay is the thing but no regrets.
