Not being a harmonica player—at least not recently—I checked at The Harmonica Spot to see if an Eb harmonica was even being made. I don't think I've ever seen one in a music store showcase but it turns out both the Marine Band and Honer's Blues Harmonicas are available in all tweleve keys.

What sort of music do you play? My impression is that cowboy songs and such use a harmonica played in it's intended key but most other forms seem to play the harmonica in "crossed" position. That is an Ab ten-hole diatonic harp would be used to play in Eb and the tonic (Eb) note is a draw note instead of a blow note. Do you play that style as well?
