G'day Captain Birdseye,

If your mate Danneker baulks at touching the modern, accessible 'Comet' ... there's not hope in Hades that he'll be silly enough to touch a doublesided 'Echo Harp' - facing up to a wooden body, instead of the 'Comet's moulded plastic ... "pinned" (nailed!) attachment instead of brass screws. He's sensibly sticking to the simple vampers (e.g. "Blues Harps" et al).

JimP is sorting out a vastly more complex instrument.

Regards,

Bob
