In the USA the second word is a type of dance.
Dances with wolves.
Dances with sheep.
Could be the start of a new proverb.

I've played Marine Bands from 1968 to 1976. They were junk. I was shown a Golden Melody by Norton Buffalo it changed my playing for the better. I played then for 44 years and could get just about anything out of them I wanted. Now I found the Kongsheng Solist and it's taken me to another level. It plays easier, smoother and louder with great tone too. It has stainless steel cover-plates that are matte finished and open in the back to allow for free airflow to the blow reeds and the draw reeds. The reed-plates are brass and secured to the aluminum comb with 10 screws including the 2 cover-plate screws. The reeds are high quality phosphorus bronze and are very responsive. It's very airtight and the best out of the box Harmonica I've played in 50 years. Just because it's made in China Doesn't mean it's a cheap copy or poorly made. This model is the top of the line.

Andrew, are you sure about that? No wonder the US churches were so concerned about dancing if that’s what they call it there!

Oldcatplayer speaks the truth. Kongsheng do make a bunch of cheap beginner harps like the Amazing 20 and the Benders harp, however they also make three models which are really excellent. These are the Sunrise, the Bluebird and the Solist. Don't write off Kongsheng before you've tried a Solist. That would be like writing off Hohner or Suzuki after playing a Silver Star or an Easy Rider.

I got as far as putting 2 in the cart, then i remembered I don’t need any harps, and those I have are all repairable. I think i have more diatonic than i’lol ever need

I had to look up this dance. Have mercy, its a real thing! Apparently ‘shagging’ is popular among young people!
