What?! Do you mean that they take an already-tuned 365 and re-tune it to
SBS specifications? I just assumed they pulled a 365 off the line and just
tuned it up SBS style. After all, every harp has to be tuned.
And my comments are in no way a reflection on Steve Baker. I'm pretty sure
I know where that extra $10 winds up, and it ain't in Steve's hands.
There's still no reason I can think of why an SBS shouldn't cost the same
or close to a 365 Marine Band.
