Buying a Suzuki chromatic from Japan
Tue, 09/16/2014 - 18:52
Has anyone purchased a Suzuki chromatic harmonica (specifically a sirius or maret model) off of ebay from one of the japanese sellers? They are available for half of what you would pay from a dealer here in the states, but on Suzuki's website there is a notice not to purchase from any but an authorized US dealer, so I am wondering if these are authentic suzuki models, or cheaper knock-offs. Thaks for any info you might have -
Hard to know what you'd get - authentic or fake - but Suzuki USA won't service it in any case if it's not bought from a US dealer. Some folks have bought Suzuki harps this way and seem to have come out OK, but will be on their own if they need repairs.
