Grateful thanks to Dannecker Harmonica's oldest customer, Sandy Kerr, who is 87 years young. He sent me a copy of his latest album, "Mair Moothie Meanderings" in which he predominantly uses Dannecker custom 10-hole diatonic/blues harmonicas as opposed to traditional tremolo tuned harmonicas when playing Scottish folk music.    On this track Sandy is using a Dannecker Blues key A major/intonated tuning.
