If not cosmo-money for that harp, I would have tried this cosmic design. The sound also is not something special. Supposedly easy access to boards (3 bolts still need a screwdriver to open) it's not that everybody need. And very likely, that you face lift of the boards with this lever.

PS. Generally perceived as cool, youth design (the name, by the way, leads to this idea), a la plastic saxophone, which supposedly does not sound worse, however most musicians perceived it as plumbing incident.

gorgeous harp! took him 6 bloody minutes to play the damn thing. have to admit it was funny watching him smell the leather and wood cases.
i couldn't watch the whole thing. did he say how much these puppies cost?

EDIT;
went to Yonberg site. looked at schematics and photos.
incredible craftsmanship! might be just the ticket for people who wanted a B-RAD because it was so cutting edge.

I hadn't noticed it before, but they look a lot like knife handles.

edit: Um, that sax video is, er, interesting. That's got to be a health code violation.

The sax vid reiterated the point: Some things(people) are meant to remain clothed. We went sailing on a mate's boat in Sydney Harbour about 18 months ago and anchored near a nude beach for a while. Seemed exclusively populated by male retirees with paunches and a penchant for picking things up off the ground or backstroking past us in a leisurely fashion...

The Yonberg reviewer seems to assume that harmonica players with an interest in new products are arrested on an average age of 10.
That´s not correct, and therefore he lost me. (Also tough to get thorugh that accent.)

Ed. Made a second attempt. Really tiresome. And when he finally (finally!) gets around to play the damn thing it does not sound remarkable at all ... (Could be the player, of course.)
Fank you, fank you, fank you, but no thank you, so far.

Here are some decent sound samples of the new harp by a French guy called Paul Lassey who gives a test run on the Yonberg. I'm assuming it's OOTB.

Skip to 1min26 to 1min52, then 2min47 to 3min14, then 3min54 to end (OB's & OD's)for the sound samples It sounds pretty tasty I have to say.
