Yeah, Suzuki is really heating things up with products like the Manji at only $40. Actually this is list price. Prices on the street might well be even lower. And the Suzuki HarpMaster at about $25 is also a great value.
At the Suzuki product seminar, they claimed that they're migrating the quality improvements of the Firebreath into the Manji - but with the longer reeds overblow players want for greater stability, and at a very competitive price. They made slimilar claims for putting a lot of what's good in the high-end ($3000-ish) Fabulous chromatic into the mid-priced ($450-ish) Grégoire Maret chromatic models.
I played both the Manji diatonics and the Grégoire Maret chromatics at SPAH and was impressed with both (though I have to say was was really blown away by the Maret chromatic and I'm not the only one).
Putting quality improvements into mid-priced instruments? What a concept. I think Suzuki is going to win some real friends with their most recent product introductions.

"Is anyone selling the Suzuki Manji yet? Prefer online domestic source."
No the Manji will be sold in the end of September, beginning of October the price will be $39,99 street price and it'll comes in 14 keys, from Low G to High F#. Only 10 were brought at SPAH and I've been lucky enough to have one....
Seydels are great harmonicas, but man! With the Manji the competition is huge.
