I just ordered my second and they are costing $30 less than my first...a  
nice surprise.

I bought  one in Bb last spring. Overall I like it and will probably buy
another  sometime.

It has a cool-looking, ergonomic design: Feels good in the  mouth and hand.

I am able to overblow 4, 5, 6 fairly easy  out-of-the-box. Overdraws on 7,
9, and 10 are harder (as usual for me).  Overbends on hole 1 and 8 are
difficult. I haven't spent time tweaking it  yet, but I'm sure the
playability can be improved further--once I adjust it  for my own manner of
playing .

The only negative I've found  is  that the plastic they use on the
coverplates of the D2 doesn't always slide  smoothly over my lips. Next time
I'll try out the D1 model which I  understand has all-metal coverplates.

This is all solely my  opinion-based upon playing only one of their harps.
Nice to see someone  being innovative with comb and coverplate design..
