"As for high-pitched F harps, no problem. Buy a low F. The major makes all do them as far as I know.   Also, I use a low D harp for Irish tunes, never a standard D."

Thanks, I've been meaning to look up to see what's available. I thought lower pitched harmonicas might be available, but I've never gotten around to checking. I'd probably have to special order anything unusual. I haven't had much extra money for instruments in recent years or I surely would have bought a few more harmonicas. It must be about 15 years since I bought the ones I have and I really wish I had some in different keys.

I tend to avoid playing in C and it would be really nice to have a couple more chromatics in different keys.

I'd quite like to try a tremolo harmonica, although I do find diatonic instruments frustrating.

Of the buying of instruments there is no end (or there wouldn't be, if I had my druthers).
