[Harp-L] Harmonica patent search

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know a few of you like to research patents on harp designs.  I have  
a design I'm considering getting patented for chromatics but
I need to do a specific search on the US Patent office website.   Is  
there a way to look up harmonicas then hone in on a specific part of  
the chromatic to see if the patent has been granted.

I don't want to give any details until I do the search myself then  
perhaps contact a patent attorney.

thanks
