Just bought this puppy
Very dissapointing, key of G, a small harp, but quite expensive.
Shrill tight tone, and not responsive, and weird blow 3 tremolo.
Supposed to be for solo melody 'on the box'
Oh well I will stick to my customised GM's

Were you aware when you purchased it that it was SOLO tuned?
That's what they mean when they say SOLO MELODY
SOLO tuning on a diatonic is really more commonly used on folk melodies in 1st Position type play and occasionally 3rd position. The 3 blow tremolo you are reporting is the 3 and 4 blow note duplication that is part of SOLO tuning.
If you want to contact me via email, we can look at maybe putting a set of standard tuning reed plates on it for a reasonable price.

Yeap,
I also disappointed in Session Steal and steel reeds in particular. Unresponsible and wadded.
Copper gentlemen, only copper!

I don't know of any copper reeds. I thought they were brass or phosphorous-bronze.
