Re: [Harp-L] harmonetta

[Roger A Gonzales <gonz1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only person I have seen that can REALLY one is my mentor the great Eddie Gordon.  He is 
amazing on all the harmonicas but there is something about the specialty harmonicas; the 
chord, harmonetta and the millionizer that he is especially amazing on.  the only place i have 
seen one for sale is ebay and they want your left nut and first born for it...ridiculous.
