<< I would strongly encourage you to spend the extra $3 per harp and order Huang Silvertones or Star Performers (also Huang) from Elderly Instruments (they sell them for about $6 - most other places sell them for about $10).>>
Oh well...it was 3 harps for only $9...so it could have been worse--huh? But...Hey--thanks much for the report. Farrell's also sells Huangs for $6 ea.(Silvertones & Star Performers). IMHO...one of the best harp values on the market is by far the Star Performer (very nice harp,quite similar to Hohner Golden Melody). Some really like the Silvertones but, if you have facial hair (mustache or beard)...be careful, it can be a painful hair-snagging experience. BTW...never had this problem with the Star Performers, due to nice rounded edges. Basically...the theory of "You Get What You Pay For" holds up pretty much of the time. But...for the bucks--Huang harps are not too shabby. Big John
