Subject: Re: CX-12 tenor-tuned vs. Hering

Dave -

The CX-12's come tenor-tuned only in black (or at least as far as the
canadian rep for Hohner tells me). No chrome-plating for those tunings, I'm
afraid; that's available only in straight C (again, as the Hohner rep up here
tells me; could be different elsewhere, ask around). I've got a CX-12
Tenor-C and it's quite nice, a full, robust sound and clear timbre to all
reeds without much effort. Keeps tone and clarity on hard-bends and heavy
throat work. Mine came special-ordered (the only way to get sucha beast from
the stores here in Mtl. but all was in order out of the box). I cannot
compare it to the Hering you mention but say simply it's a lovely thing for
sound alone (maybe mine's a touched one, I've heard mixed comments about the
things from others... .) Easy to take apart and reassemble and easy to clean
of gunk and spit-stuff. I know it's twice the cost of the Hering you compare
it to but it's quite different. There are excellent detailed descriptions in
the Harp-l archives so I'll not overwrite it again here. Look it up through
a search and you'll get plenty. The combs of the CX-12s are metal, wheras
your Hering is wood, I'm sure. Round holes on the CX and square on the
Hering you mention. Hope these few words help a little, help focus your
enquiry some.

Richard.
