[Harp-L] Tombo 17-hole slide harp

[Philharpn@xxxxxxx]

Checked out the Tombo web site and discovered a listing for a slide 
chromatic.
It looks like a modified solo tuning. Unlike the richter slide harps (Koch, 
Hohner) each module has a full octave with no missing notes. But it also avoids 
the double Cs ( CEGCCEGC) of the solo chrome.


Here is the site for Tombo and its plastic comb 17-hole slide harp.

IT SAYS: "Durable and small in size making it easy to handle."
Is this available in the U.S.?

The layout is   button out: 

         D       F      A        B      D          F           A           B  
         D

Button in puts the sharps in the same holes.
