[Harp-L] XB-40's

["CHARLES BASSI" <jeanchar50@xxxxxxx>]

What's the story on XB-40's?  I've had a Suzuki valved promaster for years.
It really works - you can bend all the notes.  Actually, I don't play it much - it's pretty quiet, not nearly as 
loud as a Horner or Lee Oskar.
XB's are a differently technology than valving every
reed, aren't they?  How do they stack up against a 
standard diatonic?

Forgive me if this thread has already appeared and 
I missed it, and thanks for your help.
