Well, LH, I've heard that playing a Harmonica Lewinsky is similar to playing on an organ. Some say it's closer in sound to the Scottish skin flute, which is like an American skin flute, except the Scots one has a pump to go with it.

Tuning is simple. You use one of those battery-operated tuners...you know, the kinda that fit in your pocket?

And it does look like Hohner's going to have a bit of stiff competition...the Hohner HotMetal is being rivaled by the Harmonica Lewinsky HardSteel model.

As for flat reeds, no more worries, my friend. Harmonica Lewinsky guaranteed straight, long-lasting, rock-solid, powerful reeds that can take a massive blowing and still come back for more.
