I’ve got a Hohner too, but it has a sound I’m not happy with. I like the Lee Oskar or Suzuki sounds better, I have a set of Lee Oskar.

Question not really related to the video, but i’m interested. Adam, do you plan on trying out the B-Radical when the finally come out? I’d love a video of your breakdown of the harp if you do.
