I'll back you up on that. I had an Easy Rider in Low D and I have to
say that it played remarkably well for the price. Around the same time
(three or four years ago?), I bought a bunch of Hohner Hot Metals (the
Chinese made version with the nickel plated covers, not the older
German ones with the red comb and black covers) in Low D (apparently
produced by accident when somebody misread the tuning charts). Several
of their reeds went south within a matter of minutes.
