The 1896 Marine Band has so many things right it always amazes me to 
think about it.  Close to 125 years ago Hohher through some stroke of 
luck and genius conceived a harmonica that's almost perfect in many many 
ways.  The wood swelling is a fixable minor annoyance.  The reeds being 
the right width and length and profile for so many styles of playing is 
what's important.  So Bill if you play tweaked up special 20's you're 
playing Marine Band reed plates.  fjm
