Last time I heard of a CBH-2016(?) for sale was on eBay, and I recall that it
went for a bit under $200.00.  They don't hit the block that often.  This is an
instrument that I believe was made in the late 1970s so the price seems
considerable.  I have NO idea where you'd find one of these interesting-looking
harps outside the online street markets unless you got real lucky at a yard sale
("This was grampa's harmonica, he never played it, give me $10 and it's yours" as
you hold you face steady to keep from screaming with joy).  I believe Bonfiglio
plays one, yes?--and probably returns to this particular instrument because it
does things for him that others cannot.
