Dear valued customers,

Harrison Harmonicas has made a name for its B-Radical harps and earned a reputation for making a top-quality instrument. That commitment will continue but with a different company. The B-radical is a very expensive instrument to create, something we weren't able to anticipate when we set our price in pre-production. Even as we began to meet and sometimes even exceed our production goals, there were obstacles we were unable to overcome. It is with a heavy heart I say Harrison Harmonicas is no longer able to continue as a company.

However, another innovative American company with a reputation for manufacturing excellence has purchased the B-Radical harmonica and will build the B-radical as well as other HH-concept models. They are committed to - and with 49 years of manufacturing experience are capable of - carrying forward the revolution we started.

The new company has expressed a firm commitment to filling our backorders. It will be sending out a communication to you in the coming weeks, you should be hearing from them soon via email announcing the new home and how backorders will be handled.

Thank you for your support.
