TOMBO - Lee Oskar sells all the TOMBO models as well as his own (Lee Oskar) harp which is made by TOMBO. I believe the Martin Guitar Co. is the U.S. distributer as far as commercial (Music Stores, etc.) outlets go. Lee will, as far as I know take mail orders. LEE OSKAR ENTERPRISES, Box 93155, Pasadena, CA 91109 (818) 792-6446
MOST BRANDS - F & R FARRELL CO. (Mail order) Hohner, Hering, Huang, {Suzuki} <-no longer carried, Tombo / Lee Oskar (Japan). Farrell also has a unique bolt on reed system he developed so you can replace reed rivets with nuts and bolts yourself. They also will convert REED PLATE nails on the #260 and #270 models to screw and nut attachment. This includes -- installing stainless steel threads in the mouthpiece holes, moisture proof the wooden comb, de-burr the three piece slide assembly, install reinforcement in the torsion spring hole and install brass coverplate spacers (for $15.00 additional - new orders only). NOTE: They do not do repairs. Write for flyer & price list... F & R Farrell Co., P.O. Box 133, Harrisburg, Ohio 43216 (614) 877-3678
