You might want to consider investing in a variety of different harps to find
out which ones suit you best.  I tried to take the short cut by asking other
people but there are great professionals using Lee Oskar, Marine Band,
Special 20, Golden Melody and even Huang Star Performer diatonics.  Take your
pick or try them all.
