Yeah, I'm sure, like anything, price is the main issue. (especially cheap-skates like us
)
Mine is actually a pre-flood model. I hear about how cool the new ones are, I wish I had one of those but in all honesty, I feel fortunate to have gotten the one I have for 200 bucks.
I've never even paid a hundred dollars for a harmonica, so 200 bucks was a real leap of faith for me. I was blown away with
the beauty of the thing when a friend handed it to me at a convention. As I recall, he said he just got it, but couldn't get used to the fact that it only had 14 holes (he was a die-hard sixteen hole guy) He told me to go ahead and try it, which I did. Ten seconds later, I was a dead man! I wrote him a check on the spot, even though I didn't have the money in my account. He said he'd hold the check for a week or so.
Yeah, play one and you'll probably wet your pants, and go looking for the money.
