On diatonic harmonica, you mean.  On chromatic harmonica, there's no doubt in my mind that Robert Bonfiglio is the most technically advanced player ever.  Although I suppose that Robert might be willing to cede that distinction to Cham-ber Huang. 

I have no doubt that Howards' online course is worth many times the relative pittance he charges.  I attended the NYC seminar, arranged by Zvi Aranoff, that Howard conducted with his then-trio a year or so ago, and it was a profound learning experience.  I'm wildly busy right now, but I'm considering Howard's course anyway.  As Ansel notes, opportunities like this don't come along more than once in a lifetime, if that.  If it weren't for the Internet, most of us would never have the opportunity.
