Re: [Harp-L] Frankenstein E/F 270

One reedplate in E and one in F would make it a chromatic harmonica in the key of E. Pretty much all chromatics have one set of reeds in the labeled key and another pitched one semitone higher.

Subject: [Harp-L] Frankenstein E/F 270
 
OK, I'm a sucker for used harmonicas offered on Ebay.  Usually the harmonicas I have won were close to their description but today I received my most recent buy, a decent looking-aside from the fixable wood crack-270.  Unfortunately it is rather unique, having one reed plate in E and one reed plate in F....  LOL.  I could pay postage and return it but hopefully someone can suggest what kind of usable Frankenstein I could make out of it.
