An unpaid endorsement for KÜHL® "Resitor" and "Radiki" pants.

I've been upgrading my wardrobe recently, and bought a pair of each model. They're basically outdoor hiking and mountaineering pants, but with some features harmonica players will appreciate.

I have a Hohner Crossover in the Key of G. I have played it for about 2 minutes total. I love the sound! I learned on Special 20s so I just don't like the non plastic comb.

Do you have a Hohner Rocket or Rocket Amp in key of G in good condition that you'd like to trade?
