A Few Words AboutYour Health: You will find that Marine Band No. 1896 harps can be bought a few dollars cheaper than mine, butmany are a healthrisk!! Most 'as found' instruments may easily (and often do) contain things like Black Mold, rust, dust, Asbestos, Nicotine and hardened saliva. These contaminants (and others) are more often than not found inside unserviced and neglected harmonicas. There's no way an aspiring player or even a pro can tell what might lay underneath the shiny covers of the average used harp in pictures on the Web. The only healthy choices are obtaining either a refurbished unit or a new one. "As found" harps also may have hidden mechanical failures such as broken or misaligned reeds. Saliva buildup on the reeds throws the tuning off.
