does anyone have any experience with Andrew Zajac's custom harps?  I've seen his combs And tools online a few places.

i mean his custom setup and reed work, etc.

How did it go and how's it working for you?

 

Details are here for others if interested...

Hohner Affiliated Customizers

I honestly don't know about Andrew Zajac's harps. However if you're considering a Marine Band I'd look no futher than a Hohner Affiliated Customizer. You can read about the Hohner program that Joe Filisko is involved in. In the USA Joe Spiers is one of those customizers. Please read the info on the Hohner Inc. site (not the Hohner Shop). You'll note in the info about Joe Filisko that Richard Sleigh helped Joe Filisko develop the "Filisko Method". Richard and Joe Filisko are at the highest level of customizing. Joe Spiers is at the top also. Richard Sleigh is actively customizing. Spiers and Sleigh harps are highly sought after. Contact both of these customizers. They both have great web sites. Just Saying.

Zajac is now Hohner Certified

Andrew Zajac recently became Hohner Certified via Joe Filisko. From Andrew's Facebook page:

After years of hard work, I am humbled to have gotten the news from Joe Filisko this morning:

"I'm happy to say that Andrew Zajac has PASSED the rigorous tests and is now officially part of the Hohner Affiliated Customizer Program."

Thank you so much, Joe! 

This is only the beginning - I intend to work just as hard and continuously strive to produce a better harp.

Fantastic!

Even though I've not had any experience with Andrew Zajac's harps when he can become Hohner Certified by Joe Filisko it really brings his work credibility. Great to hear!
