I'll be reviewing the G-48 (metal covers) GrÃgoire Maret model in the October 2009 issue of Harmonicaessions.com, including detailed photos and several recorded examples. The article will also review the Seydel Saxony and the Bends Tonica - each impressive in different ways, each with its own sound and each offered at a different price point.
I have to say that I'm very impressed with the G-48. I'm thinking of things to record with it, want to practice on it all the time and, given the opportunity, would probably spend all day playing it â it's that good.
No, I am not a Suzuki endorser nor do I have any financial arrangements with Suzuki. But I'm a big fan of the G-48. (I'm hoping for a G-56 or G-64 in the pipeline.)
I also like the SCT-128 tremolo chromatic, although I've been re-doing the fine tuning of the tremolo reeds to suit my preferences. Here's a link to me playing the SCT-128 before I did any work on it:

Below are links to a couple of videos showing Gregoire Maret playing his
all-new signature model Suzuki chromatics. These two 12 hole chroms were
first shown at SPAH, to a uniformly good response:

There is more info on the technical specs of these instruments, as well as
the new Manji diatonic harp and BCH-48 bass/Chord harmonica, on this page:
