Hi, Howard.

The Crossharp continues to be available. It started long ago as a 
handmade version, and was converted to the MS version when the MSs were 
developed. So nowadays you will find the Crossharp MS with MS reeds. 
BTW, to the one that asked about the shiny comb, it is injection molded 
plastic with a thin golden layer, which gives this harmonica a special 
character.
All the best,
Fernando
