Hadron spectra and other properties of quark systems are studied in the framework of a non-relativistic spinindependent phenomenological model. The chosen confining potential is harmonic, which allowed us to obtain analytical solutions for both meson and baryon (of equal constituent quarks) spectra. The introduced parameters are fixed from the low-lying levels of heavy quark mesons. The requirement of flavor independence is imposed, and it restricts the possible choices of inter-quark potentials. The hyper-spherical coordinates are considered for the solution of the three-body problem.
