If only. The Educator I was an interesting instrument. It's a 12-
hole solo tuned diatonic in C but the scale starts on the G, like this:
G C C E G C C E G C C E G C C
_ _ 1 2 3 4 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
A B D F A B D F A B D F A B D
and the first two holes aren't number, the others numbered 1 - 10.
Nice full length covers and shaped like a stretch Golden Melody. They
came in a little shaped, clamshell box made of blue pressed cardboard,
and were outfitted with windsavers.
Nice little harps, wonderful for third position blues. Sometimes you
can still find them on ebay. I don't know if they made them in other
keys.
