I hate to say it, Tim, but that didn't really get much better  
results, IMO.  Well, I'm wrong--it did get much better results than  
"Firebreath", but that doesn't mean that it got good results, IMO.

Frankly, while I prefer names for cars (for the most part) I think  
that harmonica makers of all stripes have proved time and again that  
they can't come up with a good name to save their own lives, so  
numbers or alpha-numeric names are much better.  (hell, if it wasn't  
old, we'd all think that "Marine Band" is a bad name--or "Golden  
Melody"?).

No offense meant, Tim, and I wish you luck with your new harp, but I  
don't like the name.
