Almost all of the companies whose websites are listed below have provided information used on this website.  Their assistance is appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.

The first site listed below is sadly no longer operating.  It was all the work of just one person, Francois Demont who lived in Rennes, France and who passed away suddenly.  He had researched and designed his website over several years, collecting and documenting over 250 instruments, all without any financial motive.  He and I were regularly in contact by email and phone and his enthusiasm was very apparent. His extensive, detailed website was a must for any Harmony/CMI fan and is still referred to today.  The address was www.harmony.demont.net.

eBay.com:

Leatherstuff.com:

All of the companies and individuals listed above have websites but many music enthusiasts who buy and sell instruments and parts do not.  A major outlet for these people is eBay.  There is an eBay site serving almost every country, but from my own experience, eBay.com seems to cover the widest range of products at the most competitive prices.

Leatherstuff.com is the eBay.com seller’s name for a major source of pre-owned guitars and basses including Harmony, Kay, Silvertone and many other brands.  The site is run by Mark in Akron, Ohio and the high quality of the instruments offered, the accompanying photographs and the accuracy of the descriptions are well worth checking out.  Mark has been an invaluable source of photos for this site and I am very grateful to him for this.
