Paul Orta used to play a special Slide Harp that combined the plates
of a C (button out) and the plates of a G (button in).  This wouldn't
be too hard to build, although the Hohner Slide Harp isn't such a
great platform with which to start.  Maybe a Hering Vintage 40 would
be better, and you could choose D/A, C/G, Bb/F.  Downside is having to
buy two harps.
