Wow, this list can serve as such a wonderful research-base!
I think I am coming to the conclusion that mixed brand kits are effective
when the harps are of similar (not same) quality and performance. That is
evidenced by the number of mixed-kit players responding, and by the brands
they listed.
This informal survey reveals there is a lot of mixing across Hohner products
and Hohner-shaped combs. Didn't notice anyone playing both Lee Oskar and
Hohner. (I may have missed it)
I still prefer the feel of LO over SP20. But to those I have advocated
getting a one-brand kit, I now recant that position.
The deciding factor would be: Does one brand harp respond very differently
to draw bends than another? If so, you're going to over- or under-estimate
the bend power needed as you change harps.
Stay well
Play well
