I have a promaster , but find the reeds too stiff .
I ordered a bamboo comb from HETRICK for promaster .
I think i could build a harp with :
-the bamboo comb
-manji reedplates
-promaster coverplates

or do you think , i'd better buy a olive C 20 ?

i play mostly blues in crossharp .
Some can say : "just buy a SP20" ,
i like SP20's , but i like the shape and the sound of the promaster .

We have one in the key of D with a Zwood comb on the Optimized Harmonicas page. The benefit of doing what you're suggesting is the difference in tuning between the Manji and Olive.

Is the MANJI tuned like a MB ?
Yes , thank's HARPNINJA , i've seen this wonderful harp on the website , but i've spent too much money with harps by the last 3 months .Plus , i rarely play D harps...

It is tuned to a compromise tuning, but I doubt it is the exact same as a MB. You can easily tune it to be whatever you want, though.

Just one more question :
do the manji and olive have the same reedplates and reeds , but with a different tuning ?
