Question
Hi
My name is Harland Crain. I am the President and co-founder of (HCI) Harmonica Collectors International. I do research for the German Harmonica Museum and for other music related museums. I am presently trying to find as much information on Distributors such as Tonk Bros of Chicago and others. Also any American harmonica manufactures. Do you have any information that may be of help?
Regards Harland Crain
On my WEB site, www.horn-u-copia.net, there is historical company information. And, though the site is dedicated to brass instruments, for those companies like Tonk, Fischer, Pepper, Lyon & Healy, etc. also would have handled other musical products, such as harmonicas.

Expertise
Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.
Experience
I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
