as i read Pat's post: Date: Sun, 30 Aug 1998 21:44:03 Subject: Re: Anyone have experience with Hohner Cross Harp?
i suddenly realized that i'd made a gross error in my posts, which can only be attributed to a combination of sever jetlag, too much sun, and not enough cocktails.
ALL me comments on the corss harp are WRONG; i was talking about Pro Harps. i've never owned a Cross Harp. i'm very sorry.
apologies!
