Just as an FYI, I use my SBS harp to play Bye Bye
Bird (one of my favorites, also!) and love it. The
advantage (for me at least) is that I can easily
get into some call-and-response licks by jumping
from the lower octave (rhythm-driven) to the
second/third octaves (lead driven) and really play
with it. 


Just my thoughts.
