:catalog. New format I thought when I saw the outside. No such luck. Still :approximately the same jumble of photocopied scraps of paper, barely :legible, in randomish order. Honestly, keeping costs down is no excuse.
I know we didn't intend to flame one of the few people to give us a reasonable price on a harp, so I won't even touch on that. What I was wondering is, is there another Harp wholesalers catalog to compare against? What I got from Farrell was a couple of photocopy pages, The Harmonica Store in Hollywood CA never even sent one after two seperate requests, and good luck finding harmonica resources in a music store. I have never seen the new one so I cannot comment on it specifically, but I feel Kevin's catalog not only gives you a good selection of harmonica and equipment, it also is packed with information that is difficult to obtain. For instance, the Xmas catalog on pg. 2. If you have never seen a LO before you could still tune or fix your harp with the info provided. Or how about six+ pages of amp info on most of the popular harp amps. Or spec sheets for a Astatic JT-30, or the harp notation charts, or the great ad for MississippiSaxophone(just kidding). But in all seriousness, I feel Kevin does the harmonica community a valuable service for free. If the layout is a little offensive, you should try to publish a 75+ page magazine some time. It ain't Kansas anymore Dorthy!
