Today the 19th this is the introduction of a brand new model of harmonica: THE OLIVE C20
Very pretty and a terrific sound. The cover plates are in a shinny GREEN metal, the comb is a composite material, and the reeds are the same as the Fabulous/ Manji, the best reeds in the world.
If you think the Manji is a bit too bright, or if your need a closed harmonica (like the Fabulous or the Fire Breath) this is the right instrument for you.
I personally had fun to play this new instrument

I can't see the video here at work but you've piqued my interest! Why can't I find anything about it on the web though? Maybe because it's still the 18th here in the States? ---------- Hawkeye Kane
1) The comb is NOT at all the one of a Harpmaster, this is a composite comb, like the one you can find in the manji (composite comb). To me it feels like a Fire Breath on steroids, or a bit more "darker" Manji
2) I don't have the price range yet.
3) I don't know what mean "the acoustic volume" this notion is very subjective....Let's say that if your technique is good enough, you'll be very happy with this one
4) Just like any new model, it'll be available gradually everywhere, I think Rockin Ron will be on it soon ---------- _________________________________________

Thanks. acoustic volume IS subjective i agree, but when you often play unamp'ed outside all the technique in the world can only make the sound go so far :)
One of my all time favorite songs Cristal...done beautifully. I would be interested in more info IE when it will be available in the states and $$$......
Not that it would sound THAT good when I play it LOL
Nice playing Cristal! Certainly blew my Summertime video out of the water! Thank God it has left the first page :) That backing track sure is sweet. Right, Tooka? ---------- Pistolkatt - Pistolkatts youtube
Great playin' there ! And it's good to see you smiling and in good mood, I'm sure it makes your playing better.
I'll surely buy one of these new harps someday, it looks and sounds cool ! I prefer closed harps, and, yes, I thought the Manji was a little too bright, so...
Sounds good, a lot like Golden Melody to my ears. Great playing, one of my favourite versions of this song now! ---------- Frosty Homepage Frosty in Youtube
