The review is based on two new harps. The harmonica is very attractive with a high-gloss black finish and more gold graphics. The gapping was a little to high on the draw plates, and the Ab wasn't very air-tight, but I immediately fell in love with the tone, and the reed response. Recessed plates, an exceptionally smooth mouthpiece, and slick covers make whipping this harp past your lips a pleasure. It's slightly wider than a Special 20, but height and depth are about the same.
Weight is also about the same.
The paint coat is a bit soft and easily damaged. Perhaps it just needs a bit more curing time. There was some twist to all four plates. The comb uses variable length reed cambers, and there also was some twist to both combs. All the reeds on these harps were accurately centered and straight.
