I have a CX12 also and ditto the good stuff said about it. I love to play mine 
and the mouthpiece design makes double stops a lot easier (for me anyway).

This is the harmonica I recommend to students looking for their first 
chromatic - if they can possibly afford the extra $30 or $40 I urge them to do 
so. If they insist on a cheaper model or a 16 hole, I recommend a Hering or 
other model that uses bolt-on reed plate construction.

Sooner or later, if you teach, you will end up doing some repair. I would 
rather not even touch a nailed together harmonica.
