Extended Diatonics.

[Norbert Brunhuber <brun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear friends,

  My birthday is coming up (Feb. 8th) and I'm thinking of buying a new
harp.  I would like to experiment with one of the extended range
diatonics.  I know there is a Marine Band 12-hole and a 14-hole.  There is
also the Steve Baker Special which is only available as a 14-hole. (Is
that correct?)

  What are the advantages to either model?  Are there other models out
there similar to these?

  Finally, my lowest pitch harp presently I have is in A.  Is a G harp
lower in pitch, or am I thinking of a "low G" key?
