Hi Harp-L,
First of all, many thanks to Steve Jennings and Jack Ely. You both made me save at least 80 $. I won't buy this Chromonica Deluxe II (UFO-harp). Moreover, the harp I was talking about is in bad condition : cover plates are rusty (sp. ?), slide refuses to move, a couple of sticky reeds. One of those harps you'd like to put in a glass of coka cola for a night, then put it in a pot of boiling water for another 15 minutes, before you even think twice about playing it :-).
I really thought it was a very promising harp, especially since Toots Thielemans played it on the cover of his first album, now re-released on CD. I also had the feeling it could have been one of those "CBH"-harps, which seems to be quite difficult to find.
