Smallpliers I am surprised at you. As a survivor of the naked basssoooonist sessions at the Sloop, I thought that you'd realise that a D harp will be perfectly suitable for songs and tunes in C through to E. Similarly a G set with do for F-A and a C set will do for the rest. I am sure that melodeoeoenists use the same system.

Colin and Karen, the delightful duo that delight us all on a Tuesday play in F# in a futuile attempt to avoid having their wonderful songs "enhanced" by a clamour of mouth organs, melodeoeoeoens, banjos and bassssoooons.

This of course is futile but at least I used the gismos on my fiddle near the beard, to de-tune the thing. This is what I had in my mind for the new Oaklet Harp, thus saving a shit load of exterior-grade mdf.

There is sprout on the window ledge in the gents in the Hase.
