I don't consider the harmonica to be a professional instrument. I  
think that many players have BECOME professional because they are  
crazy enough and have the pit bull tenacity to persist in playing the  
harmonica in spite of it. I don't have any complaints about  
diatonics. I play the spl-20 exclusively, but chromos are just a  
joke. As long as the wind savers are as they are, chromos will never  
be acceptable. Constant maint. I have a 1905 & 1928 trumpets, 1952 &  
1975 clarinets. No maint. Harmonicas are self destructive. Probably  
one of the first throw away items. They should be priced accordingly.
