Subject: Big River Harp in Low D: a review

I just received ($11.25+s/h from Joe's on line) a Hohner Big River harp
in the key of LOW D. This is a great diatonic! It has a wonderful warm
low tone. The reeds don't hit the covers, even on this low a key. The
cover plates are open on the ends, similar to a MB, which seems to let
out a little more "buzz" than closed covers. (Does this contribute to
the warm sound?)

The reeds seem more responsive than the old (early batch) Big Rivers.
This diatonic now seems to have a feel much like a Lee Oskar. (The
profile is very similar [Germans copying Japanese?].)

FWIW
