[Harp-L] re: Brendan and Suzuki

[Jonathan Ross <jross38@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Congradulations to Brendan Power on his new job with Suzuki.  As one  
of the premier players as well as technicians I think this is a great  
move for the harmonica community.  Brendan has previously shown his  
influence on innovations with Suzuki, and hopefully this will just  
increase now that he has an official position.

This is a nice match, as both Brendan and Suzuki have been on the  
cutting edge of harmonica innovations in the last decade or more.

I have one question: any plans for a truly new chromatic design,  
similar to how the CX-12 and CBH were radical redesigns of the  
concept?  I have the Tremolo Chromatic, and it is excellent, so I'm  
sure the quality of the higher end Suzuki chromatics is top notch (if  
only they weren't cross-tuned, really--well, that and I have enough  
traditional style chromatics of extremely high quality as is), but  
would love to see a new design, something radical (as the Overdrive  
was a radical rethinking of the diatonic, for instance).

Thanks, and I'm excited to hear about this new relationship between  
two major players in terms of harmonica innovations.

Oh, one other question: a baritone (octave below the 64) slider-based  
chromatic would be nice...:)
