Rick -
I've never owned a chrometta because I had always heard what you had heard and allowed myself to be talked out of the purchase by people like David.  But if there is some doubt as to its quality, perhaps you should consider carrying a chromatic you might be more likely to play all the time. 
I do own a 260 and if you want a great small chromatic, I recommend it because it is handy and durable.  I suggest investing in some cargo pants or get a belt case from Jeff Spoor - then you can carry a 270 or larger chromatic anywhere.

Well, some people talk negatively about it, because a lot of people think it sucks. Me included. But, it has its place and it will take a lot of abuse.. Especially as a pocket chromatic. It's perfect for that. It's a better pocket harp than a 260.

Subject: [Harp-L] Chrometta

I was wondering if anyone would like to offer some advice on the Hohner 'Chrometta' line, particularly the Chrometta 8. But for that matter, I'm looking for a small 'pocket' chromatic, so I can conveniently carry a chrom on my person the way I have always done with diatonics. 
I seem to recall some negative comments about the Chrometta. 
Thanks,
RD
