Hi all

I wanted to let you know about the new custom 3 octave chromatic harmonica with stainless steel comb, brass cover plates and a new revolutionary quick attach magnet system:

This prototype was a collaboration between Will’s Make harmonica manufacturer and me.
I appreciate all the valuable design input they provided to make the new quick-attach system a reality.

This harmonica encompasses a lot of useful  features found in other chromatic harmonicas and even more:

Slider package:
    -half moon shaped mouthpiece (similar to Seydel Saxony)
    -slider has only minimal contact points to reduce friction (similar to Polle Silver Concerto)
    -slider package consists only of mouth piece and slider (similar to the Easttop chromatic)
    -pockets are cut into mouth piece and comb to reduce slider friction (similar to Harmonica Art chromatics)
    -extended slide button to increase area for finger placement (similar to Tombo MU-01)

Comb (stainless steel):
    -fits Seydel Saxony reed plates (with long-life steel reeds)
    -reed plates can be separately attached to comb, 11 screws on each side (similar to Silver Concerto)

Covers (silver plated brass):
    -single reed chambers (similar to e.g. CBH 2012/16)
    -carved out channels (below mouthpiece) to retain moisture when playing (similar to Polle Silver Concerto)
    -new unique quick-attach magnet system which helps to take the covers off within seconds for maintenance work or cleaning (new feature)
