Ok, the  legal business has slowed down for Christmas and I admit that I am
fooling  around at my desk.  So, I downloaded the free trial version of  the
Bendometer software, opened up my harp case and proceeded to see which  of 
my
harps provided the easiest bends.  Winner was the Hohner  Crossover (stock).
Close second was the Suzuki Bluesmaster (stock).   Third was the Hohner
Special 20 (tweaked), Fourth was the Hohner Golden  Melody (stock), Fifth 
was
the Marine Band (stock), Sixth was the Huang Star  Performer (stock).  I had
never really tested the harps before and the  Crossover is not really my
favorite harp for ergonomic reasons but I have  to admit the full step bends
were nearly effortless.  I had never paid  attention to it before.  I 
usually
just play the things and don't  worry too much about technicalities.  But,
there it is for what its  worth.  The Crossover is the easiest bending harp
in my case.
