The Shred Room II (with extra youth)

Made in Germany.

But their cheap ones are made in China.

But you want a German one.

And they're an international brand and most decent harp players play Hohner harmonicas.

Maybe a harmonica would be less annoying for my neighbours.   What sort of harmonica should a n00b get? Don't underestimate a harmonica. It sounds really loud too. That's the main problem with wind instruments. I know what I'm talking about being a sax/flute player.   Mmm... I'm heading to Archambault tomorrow anyway, maybe I'll look up how much a harmonica can cost. I wanted to get a tin whistle when I got into Irish folk, but haven't found one offshore yet. Maybe Twigg has them.

It's not THAT expensive usually. And I don't know about tin whistles. You might want to try out Ital Mélodie instead of Archambault though. The prices are usually way better.

Part of me wants to put it first in self-arrogance, but part of me says that it's definitely not better than Henry Cow for sure, let alone a few others.

Did not like Ayreon album much at all.

Goddamn cheesy, and not just the lyrics, but the way it was executed, was WAYYY too cheesy for me.

I need that Birds and Buildings album.

Well yes, didn't hear any of those

Pat and I voted for it.

Prog sucks.
