Thanks for the input! Promaster in A is on its way.
Regarding:
"In my opinion (and don't listen to my opinion on this because I suck anyway), yes a G is substantially harder."--
a) If true, keep in mind that I also suck, so your opinion is likely relevant to my experience.
-and-
b) You appear to have quite a few tabs posted for someone who "sucks".
. Just sayin'...
I'm guessing from the threads that Sp20 to Promaster is a common path. Hohner is the one harp brand you've heard of when you get started, and when you hear "Suzuki", you think "don't they make motorcycles?" (at least that was my thought here in the upper midwest of the U.S. of A). Then you start reading the reviews and everyone seems to love the promaster...
One thing I'm really looking forward to is the weight of the harp... I'm a would-be woodworker in my spare time who likes old-school chisels, so I have an affinity for heavy duty things that can be manipulated for precision... Really no correlation to harps on that, but a preference all the same...
