Re: [Harp-L] New Electric Harmonica

I can't yet identify our supplier but I can say that the reeds, 
reedplates and combs are of the highest quality and made by a company 
with harmonica expertise. Those components are airtight and I believe 
that the production version of the entire instrument will be more 
airtight than a conventional harmonica's cover plates. Players have had 
no problem playing the prototype, which isn't quite as sealed as the 
production version will be.

Regarding tunings, as I mentioned in the post, I want to get feedback 
from players on what keys they prefer, but theoretically we can offer 
cassettes in standard Richter tuning from Low C to F. There's also no 
reason why our vendor won't be able to supply custom tunings to order.
