Re: [Harp-L] First chromatic harmonica

[Mike Price <mikerockin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I play mostly diatonics these days however I have several chromatics  
of different sizes ( 10, 12 16 holes )The one I like the best is the  
Hohner 10 hole model 260. It feels, plays and IMO  sounds better then  
the others.
