Update,I talked with Chris's widow this morning. His best friend and fellow dog trainer is going to help her sort through things. I mentioned to her that some members of this forum would like to have their harps in the present state even though they might not be completed. She is aware of that. It is just going to take time. It is very difficult for her to even go into the room at this point, this is where he passed away. She seems like a very nice lady she knows that this will have to be addressed.
My circumstance was a little different. After having received my B-rad I just wasn't happy with it. I offered it to Chris for a used one of his and he said he would be happy to build me a new Buddha harp in exchange for my B-rad. I was grateful for the offering so I went ahead and sent my harp to him. After receiving it he said that he had played others that were better than the harp I got. Unfortunately we lost him shortly thereafter. I sent a letter to Laurie explaining this and asked that if she could find my B-rad it would be nice to have it back. I got it yesterday. It was dirty from use so I took it apart and cleaned it, then reassembled it. Oh boy was I pleasently surprised. I know its the same harp because it has my name on it but it plays like a different machine. I have been blessed with a Buddha B-rad. I still have a problem with the ergonomics of the harp, it's just so different than anything else but I am excited to have it back.

Lip Ripper, unfortunately Buddha also owed me a couple of harps. Would you be so kind to send my his families contact information. I will approach the matter with caution and respect.
Cheers.

Hey I played that B-Rad too, when I stopped by to see Chris and Laurie on my way from San Diego to Oklahoma--
Chris was a great guy, full of passion for our instrument--we all miss him.

Sounds like your harp got passed around a bit.

Hello,
I am glad this came up again, because I am having trouble finding out how to go through the probate court. I am waiting on 3 Buddha harps ordered almost a year ago. I was told they were practically done, so I am hoping they are sitting somewhere. Anyway, if anyone gets any information, or contact information for the family please email me. eddietomaine@yahoo.com
Thanks,
