<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->8--------<br>Hi, everybody.<br>Some exciting news!<br>Hering has come out with TWO new chroms!<br>I have bought one, the other I had to leave in the store.<br>The harmonicas are both 10 hole 40 reeds chromatics with wooden combs.<br><br>The first model is a Vintage 40 or a similar name, and, as one could guess,<br>it´s design follows the lines of the Vintage 1923 diatonic harp. It´s comb<br>has the same finish as the diatonic (red-brownish died varnish on the<br>outside), the coverplates are also "ouro velho" (antique gold" finished and<br>the mouthpiece is golden color (just brass??). I haven´t bought this harp,<br>although it looks very nice.<br><br>The one I bought is the Hering´s 40 Chromatic Harmonica. It is from the 51<br>line (5148, 5164), so I guess its code will be 5140. The comb is painted<br>black, and all parts are chromed.<br><br>Both harps seem to be exactly the same, save for different coverplate<br>engravings and finishes. the 5140 is solo tuned, but I can´t say anything<br>about the Vintage 40´s tuning, although I suspect that it could possibly be<br>"richter" tuned (ok, it´s not a tuning, it´s a construction scheme, but you<br>got the idea).<br><br>Prices? Here in Brazil it was around 50 dolars for the 5140 and 55 to 60 for<br>the Vintage 40. But those are Brazilian prices 
<br><br>I have taken the harp apart (of course, I couldn´t help myself and the<br>pictures are on my harp site: <a href=http://listen.to/fhb>http://listen.to/fhb</a>. As the site is in<br>portuguese, here is the direct link:<br><a href=http://www.ozdobe.org/bresslau/ecafhb/i ... br>.<br>If wordwrapping doesn´t like it´s length, pase try this one:<br><a href=http://www.ozdobe.org/bresslau/ecafhb/i ... r>or<br><a href=http://listen.to/fhb/imagens/galerias/h ... </a><br>or even<br><a href=http://listen.to/fhb/en/>http://listen.to/fhb/en/</a> where I have other interesting articles.<br><br>I´m posting this notice to HarpOn!, Harp-L and, although I´m not an active<br>member, to Slidemeister (if it doesn´t get there, I would ask some of you<br>who are active there to do this for me. Pat?). I am sorry for crossposting,<br>but I´m really excited about this "discovery". It seems that only a few<br>pieces of this harmonica has been delivered this week to some stores (I<br>bought the only 5148 from the store), and I haven´t heard them mentioned by<br>anyone, form Hering or outside.<br><br>Anyway, the harmonica lies very good in the hand. Although it has almost the<br>same size as a Slidemeister/Koch/260, it is more comfortable for the round<br>coverplatedges and round and chamfered mouthpieceholes.<br><br>It is very airtight and responsive. The tone is loud and nice and I am very<br>satisfied with it. It seems to me that the wooden comb has been treated the<br>same way as the Vintage. That said, it isexpected that it won´t warp due to<br>moisture.<br><br>I hope you enjoy the pictures.<br><br>Have a good week,<br>Fernando Bresslau<br>São Paulo - Brazil<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->8--------
