sugar caine custom harps

Tony holiday has a few harps built by that company, he likes them. I may be wrong, but it seems to be more cosmetic changes, I am not sure how much modifications are done. I can ask him. I have purchased 2 seydel harps from Ben Bouman harmonicas http://www.benboumanharmonicas.nl/rapidcartpro/index.php?catalog/all/-/date/1

I love them, I noticed the overblows are easier and the harp is more airtight, and bending is easier. His prices are excellent IMO. I had read that Mark Hummel has used him in the past as well. he has 3 different levels of customization.

^^ that's the sugar mama my next buy ( probably in a key of d since I don't have that one yet) and look on his site he lists all the harps he makes and he lists the tuning that are available.
