After a few years of concentrated learning and a lot of help, I finally ended up with this set of harps:

LowE Seydel, then Lee Oskars up to E. I like this pitch, and don't really play the regular E, so it's really LowE to D. The C and the D are my highest pitched, and I paddy-richter-fied them by putting on upper plates from corresponding LO Melody Makers.

And now I finally have a set of four Lee Oskar Natural Minors: Am, Cm, Dm, Em.

To round it all off, I have 2 Promasters, C & D.

I realized I like an original sound for my blues playing, and using paddyfied C's and D's, Natural Minor harps, and even the ET tuning of the Promasters all provide nice surprises in my sound compared to generic blues harp.
