RE: [Harp-L] Steve Baker Special

["Bradford Trainham" <bradford.trainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've owned as many as four at once, but my favorites are the c and d's. 
I have however, had the draw reeds go out during gigs twice.  
I can dependably bend anything on the d harp, but the 2-draw on the c
requires the sort of concentration that, at this point in my harp-playing
would have me deciding against trying it at a gig. 
I also found that.. .when I played the SBS a lot and didn't play regular
10-hole diatonics, that I'd be somehow disoriented when I'd have to switch
to a regular diatonic, but that's probably more me than it is the harmonica.


My crowning achievement on the a SBS was playing a harp break to end out the
Grateful Dead song Scarlet Begonias.
Since you have that extra iteration of an e chord in second position, I was
able to do the first part of the solo "folky" and then introduce some bends
during the b part of the verse.  (Crowning achievement certainly would mean
different things to different people.)

Have any of you tried the Hohner 365/SBS?  

How do/did you like it?  Was it difficult to bend the low range?

Thanks,
Ron
