There are quite a few Harmonetta players these days. It is frequently used
in Harmonica groups as accompaniment. The fact it can play jazz chords
makes it very interesting also.
I have a Harmonetta which is in excellent condition and it is for sale.
If you are interested in buying it please write to me at fmajor7 at xxxxx
