[ The Dannecker Blues ] "It is a gorgeous physical object. One of the best looking harps, considered purely as a work of art, that I've seen. It has a beautifully in-tune low draw chord (holes 1-4) and very smooth action on the high end. I love the way that it allows me to pull the 9 draw down slightly--an inflection off the flat seventh that I'm fond of using and that your harmonica makes sweet and easy."

“.....I gave the Dannecker Blues harps a good going-over at the weekend, and I’ve very impressed. The 1st thing that struck me was the weight, very comfortable in the hand. The tone is fantastic, and what really impressed me is the very light, responsive action; without any loss of tonal quality; a feature I particularly warm to as I’m not 21 any more, and some of the other harps I use take more effort to get the sound out. Again let me reiterate your harps are fantastic, and I’ll be in touch soon for a couple more. Very best wishes......”
