Hi MBHers

I have a mission to review every piece of kit I can get my hands on.

Im fortunate enough to have two Harps made by Randy Sandoval @ www.genesisharmonicas.net.



Enjoy!

Great revue. I looked up Randy's prices and they are pretty darn good. Couple of questions. In regards to choosing the Special 20 cover plates...and then opening them way up and then opening the sides as well. I guess, especially with a high harp like an E, I thought some people use the Special 20 plates for a certain tone. And opening the sides and the front that much, you might as well have just left the MB plates on? Just curious what the thought process was. I can tell you have the same issue I have with my Buddha harps in that they are so responsive that especially the 3 draw is almost too responsive and you have to really work at maintaining a bend pitch. It's like switching to a guitar that has super light strings and you tend to overbend because it's so responsive. Your harp really is set up good though as you can easily bend up the overblows. Great revue!

When I get the motivation, I think maybe I'll link your reviews on the list of customizers.
