Thats one Hohner i've never tried. Come to think of it, it rarely gets mentioned on here or anywhere else. It looks like a nice harp but i have my doubts like with most Hohner harps. If you pick one let us know how you get on:o)

The Cross Harp of today is an MS Pro Harp with 1.2mm
reed plates (as against the 0.9mm in the Pro Harp)and a gold coloured comb.
I'm pretty sure that somewhere on the forum I read that if you buy any replacement MS reed plates they are the
1.2mm ones, perhaps someone could verify this. If this is the case then you are spending a lot of money for a gold coloured comb and the gold will eventually wear off.

One of my students have Cross Harp. Gold coloured comb is complete shit sucks tons of air, after putting it to polished acrilic comb it starts resemble Hohner Blues Harp. It's possible that it can be playable after customizing, but not as good as custom 1847/manji/golen melody.

I had 2 in A and C and they were both crap. Leaked like shit. Sold them both on e-bay afew months ago.
You are right wheezer about the reedplates and the comb is plastic. It also cost's more than normal MS harps but there's nothing to justify that extra cost.
I feel the same way about most MS harps.
I'll stick with SP20s
