David,

Stainless steel should be hypo-allergenic. Nickel allergies are more common
than you think. The question is, whether you like the ET tuning of the LO.

A.f.a.I.k. the lids of the Hohner SP20 are now also made from stainless
steel(can anybody on the list confirm this?).
So are the lids of most Seydel and Suzuki models (cave ET!)(no confirmation
necessary for I know that for sure). 

I am pretty sure that Michael Timler will ship to Israel

Lee Oskar harps have stainless cover plates and brass reed plates.
