The Tony Eyers Trio have recorded a track featuring the Hohner
Thunderbird. The tune is "Shady Grove", you can see it at

The lead instrument is a Hohner Thunderbird low low G harmonica, tuned
to Major Cross by Australian customiser Neil Graham. I've been impressed
by the Thunderbird since it first appeared, however difficulties with
low register bends limit its scope for tunes. The Major Cross tuning
frees it up, and unleashes the melodic potential of this instrument.
Check it out, let us know what you think.
