I'm with you Sonny, that  sounds like a great idea.

The  felllow I met last night who could play the snot out of the chromatic  
is  
Charles  Spranklin, does anyone know him, heard him. He gets together  with 
all the  diatonic/chromatic heavies from NYC once a week.  Gallison, you name 
them, he's  there with them. He is well into his  70's, as I do not overblow, 
it 
was a very  humbling experience to  trade off with him. It has made me 
seriously 
considering  having my  harps built with the 5 draw up a half step, like Lee 
does on his   harps, but he always takes the 3 blow up so it does not allow 
the 
blues  3/6  chord. That is if you want to stay somewhat traditional style, to 
 
each their  own. I believe if you have that 5 draw raised a half  step, you 
would then be  able to bend it back down, anyone shed any  light on that, I 
know it 
has to do  with the relation to the 5 blow  note.  Thanks
