two Dannecker Blues harps arrived today....I own several

plenty of praise from other people already."
Peter
Moran, UK
"Dear
Tony, I'd like to say a big thank you for making such
a huge difference to my enjoyment of our favourite instrument.
I've been absolutely delighted with every single harp
that I have bought from you. The Dannecker Blues is without
doubt the best harp I have ever played! There is simply
NO comparison with any other in my collection. It has
a tone to die for, unrivalled clarity and it looks and
feels so COOL! This IS the ultimate sound! Every time
I call you, no matter what the problem, I always get the
unrushed professional advice that I need. With a busy
gig schedule it is great to know that the answer is simply
a phone call away. For these reasons and more, I'll never
go anywhere else for repairs or new harmonicas."

David Sousa, 'DJ Slate and Rocket
88', California, USA
"I received my upgraded harp this morning. Many
thanks for an excellent job and prompt service as always.
For years I played off the shelf harmonicas, that always
seemed okay but seemed to be lacking in tonal quality
and evenness of tone. That was until I discovered Antony
Dannecker. My upgraded harps are nothing short of fabulous.
The improvement in tone, clarity and response, not to
mention precision tuning just inspires me to play more
and as a result I have become a better player. Long
may you continue."
Brian Humphreys, 'Talkin' Blues',
South Wales, UK
