Bends Harmonica (Translated to English) (There, let's see if the link works now.) ---------- Nate Facebook Last Edited by on Jun 21, 2010 10:04 PM

Also check out their website, the Juke model looks sweet. ----------

Santos Music is based in UK, ships everywhere, and the guy has great communication. Plus, the prices are not that different from having them ordered from Brazil.

You can order from Santos music ; as far as my experience is concerned, they do the job. First impression, those Bends are fine instruments, nicely packaged, good looking, tone is very much MB like. Look very much like quality instruments. One or two holes a bit breathy, but no doubt minor gapping will solve that. I have just "tried" them for now. I will come back with more info once I've played them a little more seriously (and have opened the beasts).
