Hi Ho...just returned from White Springs...thanks for the conversation, my friends.

Richard, I think Mark thinks I should have this key for my voice. I do now have F, D/A, C, and G diatonics so I can play most tunes.

I agree that a chromatic is nice but I have never gotten used to them because Bryan taught me how to modify my harps in the middle 70's and so I began with diatonics.

Rick, you would enjoy meeting Mark. His skill as a luthier is remarkable. He has harps with lock bars which I think do what your "removeables" do. I played the Oscar Schmidt model and didn't care for it. June Maugery uses hers a lot. harp
