That said, there's not really enough room inside any Hohner diatonic to comfortably valve with any valve.

Steve responds:
I half valved a number of original Hohner Meisterklasse 580 harps in the early 1990s using the then current Hohner chrom windsavers. I recorded a CD with British singer/songwriter Vic Abram using them. They worked fine and I still have a couple. The surviving examples compare favorably with the Big River Harp I half valved using PT's windsavers, though my harps were noticeably brighter in tone.
