Harp Collectors & Players,
I have a client that wishes to remain unknown that has a number of
valuable Harmonicas from the days of Borah Minevitch. He was a member
of the Rascals. First is a Single Reed Bass, "M.Hohner Chromatische
Bass Harmonica" Starts at G to G., also called a Baby Bass. It is over
50 years old, and is Brand New, meaning it was never used. It was the
personal property of Borah Minevitch and is still in the original dark
blue box. Any offers? Any interest? This instrument has been
discontinued by Hohner some time ago.

Second, is a Bass Poly, also the personal property of Borah Minevitch.
It is an all blow instrument, it has been slightly used but is in
perfect condition. This is another instrument that has been
discontinued by Hohner. For those of you that are unfamiliar with a
Poly. A Poly, also known as a Polyphonia or Chromatica is a Harmonica
abouit 17 to 20 inches long, also called a straight Chromatic in that
the reeds are laid out like a piano key board. Some were blow draw with
each reed producing the same tone. Some were just blow like the bass
instrument. We have no prices on these valuable instruments but we do
have a minimum bid. It should be interesting to see if there are
collectors or players out there that would like to have an original
Borah Minevitch owned instrument.
