So if you don't want to mess your standard diatonic mind up to much...
maybe this is the best choice...

The Lee Oskar Melody Maker on the other hand changes 3 notes... (3 blow up
a step, 5 draw down a half step, and 9 draw down a half step)

But gives you two complete octaves of the major scale in 2nd position...

(and you draw bend the 5 draw back to it's original sound when needed)

The question - any conversation or opinions on choosing one over the other?

Thanks for any comments.

I was getting tired of playing E on my A so I bought a melody maker in A so I could play 3rd position major blues in E.
