I'm going through what I suppose is the 7 year itch (although I get it every 3 or 4 years) and am toying around with several harps other than my beloved Marine Band (Still the greatest sounding harmonica ever, to my ears). I've been pretty satisfied with the Meisterklasse and the Promasters (valved and non-valved) that I've tried.
So I'm going to try a Filisko. A student of mine showed me one several years ago, and I was impressed with the workmanship, but I don't recall much about the sound.
Before I place my order, though, I'm interested in hearing what experiences you may have had with Filisko harps. I'm leaning towards getting the brass harp with traditional square holes, but am also intrigued by the rebuilt Marine Band.
