Hey Bubba, you made me really curious; they must have certainly improved then, my experiences were quite different .... that D one i bought new end of 2006 was popping out reeds, a friend breaking one, air needy, buttons coming loose ... definitely not on par with even a 80-ies Zero Cette "Acadian" D i bought later, the latter being great for sound, but by far as loud and punchy as my first Acadian: as said you got me curious now! PS mine had Weltmeister on the front panel, but it looked quite similar as the Harmona branded ones i saw earlier. - Nout
