Re: [Harp-L] Separate blow & draw holes

You're right, Jonathan. I meant to say Vienna comb, not Knittlinger, which is best known for it being the comb in the Auto Valve.

These include both the double reed octave and tremolo Wiener harps proper, as well as the single reed half-Wiener models and the various Asian double-reed harmonica types as well as the "Single" type of single-reed harmonica commonly used in Japanese music education.  There are even chromatic harmonicas with one reed per hole opening, including the slideless Tombo S-50 and the slidered Tombo Unica Formal.
