That's one hole too many! I've got one of those 4-hole Hohner Little Lady harps...a novelty, but I can play it. HarveyHarp has a Seydel BigSix he carries everywhere, and he plays it.

There's a good trick you can play with those Little Ladies. Hold a regular harp up to your ear, close your mouth, and pretend you are trying to blow air out your ear. Of course, it won't work. Then, palming the Little Lady so others can't see it, use your other hand to pinch your nose, and blow a note through the Little Lady. People think you're blowing the harp through your ear.

I have one of those Suzukis and I find it really hard to play. I also tried the Hohner Puck and that was pretty good. The best I've found (and the most expensive) is the Seydel Big Six, which is a chopped down 1847. I keep it on my keychain so I always have a harp, even when I don't have pockets. It was the only harp I had when I joined a jam session with Pete Seeger last year. Luckily, lots of folk songs are in C, though my first position isn't what it should be!
