Reflecting on my fave harps and a family heirloom print.

4 fave harps on top. Left to right are Hohner Blue Midnight harps in G and C then a Huang Star Performer in A. Above is a Hohner Special 20 In low E.

That old lone wolf print was in my great aunt's house, my grandma's house, my mom's house and now mine. Those prints were very popular circa 1920 to 1930.

Bruce, I went to use my G midnight harp and it has a crappy sounding reed.   Just got it last summer.  Will try to repair it when the mood strikes me.   Yup, the Lees are about the best.

Cool print and image! I have not tried the Blue Midnight harps but like Special 20s. Lee Oskars are my favorites though. That would be a great art piece for a build!

Love that re=do Clock.  This reminds me.  Have not heard you howl on a harp for a while.

Oh gees, Jay.  Thanks a lot.   Another great building idea when I have too many cbgs.  But man, that is a great idea.  I wonder if I can print one off.   Yup, the 20s are nice, man.

Hey U.J  you need to get a copy of that treasure on a guit box!

In my vids i use the Hohner special 20's, pricy but great harps.

The plastic combs definately would help Jim with his lip hair lol

Mics are my phone mic and 70's Mexico green bullet

Thanks, Pick.  Trim that thing, Jim.  Your soup does not need strained!   You might have the 'gift' if you can see the ghost!   Does anyone else see it?

Cool Unc. It's almost like a ghostly image in the heirloom print. I'm a lousy harp player myself. My mustache keeps getting yanked!
