Great harp and Great Customer Service, too!

I'm at the end of my stash of NIB Bushman Delta Frost and ordered a couple of DaBell Contenders. Unfortunately, the D harp had some octave tuning issues. That's a no-go for me, as I play rhythm behind my guitar players solos. Ron put me in touch with DaBell founder Benny Yoon who responded immediately with the offer of a replacement. Darn if it didn't arrive NEXT DAY from Korea and is perfectly in tune! That's someone who stands behind their products.

Thanks so much for this kind review Rich!
We sure appreciate your business.

DaBell Contender F# low

I needed a low F# for a specific song I'm working on, and DaBell offers this at a reasonable price. First DaBell I've owned and am impressed, especially at this price point. Very good quality, airtight, responsive, no reed adjustments needed, great right out of the box. I've been spoiled by custom harps lately, but DaBell is one I'd definitely recommend to someone who doesn't have $200 for a custom harp.
Usual quick response and good service from Rockin Rons.

Thanks, Thomas!
We sure appreciate your kind review.
Thanks for your support.

Not just a contender

I bought the DaBell Contender in Harmonic Minor Am as an exploration of the make and tuning. I got fabulous personal service from RockinRons and had the harp in a few days. There's just one problem; I can't put it down. Seriously. It's like discovering I can sound like an accordion when I whistle, and who knew playing a tango could feel so good? Tuning aside, the harp is also a very comfortable mouth fit for me, much like the Hohner Golden Melody is. It's loud without being over-the-top, the chords are lush, and even the 2 draw is clean. I won't comment on bending because I'm still developing that skill. I am already looking forward to my next DaBell Contender, this time maybe in a G or Low F. Thank you RockinRons for making this harp available!
