Yes.... I think a LOT of players are interested in that... I know I  am.  
Yes I've experimented with playing un-valved chromatics, but never  really 
worked for me... I have a couple of diatonic "Koch" 10 hole chroms, but  they 
just leak air! Also they just sound like regular "short harps", but give  
about half the volume of sound.
 
Of the "solo tuned" standard 12 hole chromatics I have used, Hohner's CX-12 
 gives a fairly "diatonic" sound.
 
However, I mostly play Hohner 270 chroms, and Hohner MS diatonics... I like 
 BOTH sounds... for different tunes.
