received my new custom MB by Henry Slim today.

Henry hasn't been doing this long but i think he is on the right track. this is a nice marine band.

i am gonna have one more go at embedding a sound clip of me playing "i aint got you", straight after i took the harp out of the box...but if i dont have the embedding right yet i am giving up for the night..and embedding my sorry arse instead

I've seen a few of his harps on ebay and was wondering what they were like. Are you happy with it Superbee? His prices are pretty reasonable for a custom harp,

SuperBee, I tried fixing your link, but it doesn't work.

I tried about ten ways. Mediafire is a pain in the butt. I tried their bulletin code; I tried their HTML. I think I tried everything. :( Maybe I don't got my mojo working.

@oisin: yeah i am definitely happy with it. i think i got what i paid for anyway. the harp is a Marine Band in D. he is doing all the basic stuff...replacing nails with bolts, rounding the corners, shaping, sanding and sealing the comb, opening the covers. he is also embossing the slots, tuning reeds and setting gaps. so you get a marine band which is more the instrument you could wish they would all be like out of the box....every reed plays easily. my playing ability is another question. i don't really blow bend with any expertise so i cant say about the setup regards that, but the draw bends are all easy...well, the 6 draw i have to concentrate on....but thats my playing. he is a guy who is learning the craft and on the right track i think, so i am keen to encourage him. and i have found him good to deal with. i believe he is trying to do the best work he can, and constantly improve. i think i will get him to do another for me. he is charging GBP55 for a customised MB. that is not much more than a standard MB2005, and the harp i received is better IMHO.

@Nate: thanks...i tried as many ways as i could think. i think i have sorted it now..
