Yes...this is a current thread on Slidemeister, where one of the posters  
'Ziggy' has discussed this, his favourite chromatic at length...posted links  
comparing its sound to his other several chromatics (dare you to figure out  
which is which), and explains how he's gone back to this one as 'the' perfect  
chromatic for him after years of playing regular chromatics.
 
It's definitely interesting and he's certainly intrigued a lot of  people 
who're interested in something inexpensive to play outside in adverse  weather 
conditions and/or in their cars.
 

While I haven't played an Educator (but am seriously considering  getting one 
although it's a little small for me) purely because of it's  valvelessness, I 
might differ with his take on it being a 'beginning' chromatic  for diatonic 
players. My personal favourites are those of the Cx-12  series which I play in 
different keys and which lend themselves easily to  bending ...are a joy to 
play and maintain, and seem to me at least to  be the perfect instrument for 
players wanting to transition from a diatonic  to a chromatic.
Ymmv.

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with the Educator  10
Chromatic? I want ease into the chromatic world and thought this might be  a
good way.
