Richard just sent out this... contact him rrsleigh at gmail.com

The last time I put something up for sale it was a Kinder antifeedback box and I banged out an email at 5 am and most of the people who were conscious when it went out were in Europe. It lasted about 20 minutes and ended up on a plane to Belgium. So this time I want people in the USA to have a fighting chance at a couple of interesting harmonicas that i have explored, upgraded, sterilized, and want to let go of.

I have a Suzuki overdrive harmonica, which looks like a cross between an ocarina and a harmonica. Black hard shiny plastic covers with holes that you cover with your fingertips to make it easy to play overblows or overdraws. It is an interesting harp. Great for learning technique, and if you are good at overblows, try playing it without your fingertips - it is harder than the average harp to get the overblows so that is one more way to increase your chops. I think of it as kind of like a piece of exercise equipment.

The other strange thing about this particular harp is the overdraws are all much easier when you use your fingetips, EXCEPT for the #10 overdraw - that one is much easier without using your fingertip. Go Figure.

If I understand this post correctly, then I hope Richard gets my email. I would be very happy to have one of these harmonicas.
