[Harp-L] harmonetta

["Doug" <mr4chnt@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think I've seen an actual harmonetta (except maybe in a store window 35-40 yrs ago) and I sure don't know anybody who plays one.  It looks like it would take a lot of wind but it also looks like it is 'truly' chromatic in both chords and melody. (?)

Anybody here play one or own one?
