RE: [Harp-L] Playing chromatically on richter harps article on planetharmonica

Hi Jack

>How about the Koch #960/40 and the Slide Harp #7312/40 (Richters with
buttons).
They are (briefly) mentioned in the CX-10 review. They are similar in
principle to the CX-10. They are 10 hole chromatics(similar to the
Chromonica 1 M 260) but richter tuned. The Koch has no valve and the slide
harp is partly valved (probably half-valved as the CX-10). We haven't had
the chance to try them but we've had several feedbacks and all of them were
that they are VERY leaky (to the point of being unplayable).

Hope this helps
