When I started working on overblows it was like adding another
technique to what I already knew how to do -- and already enjoyed
doing -- on diatonic harmonica. The XB-40 is a different instrument.
I played with mine long enough to determine that it didn't suit what I
was trying to do, and I went back to working with what I enjoy. This
is not to knock David's or anyone else's work with the instrument, only
to say that I don't think it's fair to compare adding overblows to
one's diatonic technique to learning to master the XB-40.
