That sounds really cool
Frightens me more than playing harmonica on stage

I own a Caterham Superlight R that I occasionally scare the proverbial out of myself on hill climbs and sprint circuits. Reminds me that I am still alive

@chris3 Hi Chris, I did a couple of hills a few years back in a Pilbeam doing a double bank drive with the then owner and did the Brighton speed trial in a Ralt Formula Two car but prefer circuits with pre’65 classics. Your Caterham Superlight R is the great great grandson of my Brooklands Austin 7, hope it has better brakes

Fun facts: Porche did license a smoking pipe, at one time. It had cooling fins. Its worth a bit of money if you can find it.
But to answer the question, it would depend. Are they making a lambo harp or just slapping their name on a stock harp?
A Lambo harp would be like if they went to a top notch customizer and said “make this the best harp of your life.” And then they developed the machinery to make that repeatable.
Then I’d buy it and tell everyone else what an amazing harmonica it is, in the hopes that volume would prove to the company that the market will sustain it.
This is what I think Suzuki is after with the Fabulus harp. However, I have not tried one.

It depends on the MPG?
Some people like the toy, some people like the play, and some people like both…
Some people buys a Leica altough takes his photos with the phone…
It’s all so relative… Offer and demand. If Lamborghini would make harmonicas, probably sold out the stock in minutes. And I don’t think is a bad thing for harmonica players, because it would be a very different product made for a very different purpose.

I get where you’re coming from with people buying for the name. I had the chance to drive a Lamborghini once and I have to admit, it was one of the most uncomfortable drives I have ever had. I used to drive for a living so I drove a lot of different vehicles. So if they made one then no I wouldn’t. Unless it had good reviews from plenty of independent people who played it in real life situations. But I would be the same with any new one and do my homework first.
Given the reputation of the company and the standards that they work towards, I would likely not buy one. I too have driven a Lambo and did not enjoy it. It was fast and handled well but it was not enjoyable. I would expect they would have the same user experience with the harps they sell. All show, not truly usable. I would have to pick the 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS harmonica. While it is not a one off type, I know where to go to get it taken care of and it would be reliable, which is what I actually need and want.
