<< Speaking of old harps. I just found a C Marine Band that I had gigged with
back in '77. You know how everyone is rolling back the cover plates to get
the older look and effect? This harp has a very thin rail at the back of the
covers. Real nice. I would think that Hohner should look at doing something
along these lines or the even older rolled way.

At a flea market I found a new, in the box MB with an actual photo
(or photostat) of the US Marine Band glued to the box where it is
normally just printed. The cover plates are bent in back to allow
for more volume (just as Dave described above). The sticker on the
inside of the box has a picture of M. Hohner on the left and 10 gold
coins (awards?) on the right. Any idea how old?
