Has anybody tried this one yet? I was thinking about the Blues Harp MS, but this one would save me the custom work.

I take it from the complete lack of response that no-one has acquired one of these yet?

If anyone has (surely SOMEONE out there has one?), can they please give us some feedback - thank you.

Thanks for joining in, Ian. I have read on other forums that it is a really good harp, but not good enough to justify the price. I've read better reviews on the Suzuki Manji, which is about $20 less than the MB Crossover.

Different story over here in the UK, Jeff. Crossover is 44 GBP, whereas the Manji is 54 GBP. I suppose on that basis I should consider acquiring the Crossover first. Only trouble is I like the Promaster and wonder whether the Manji could be even better!

Looks like I may have to get both eventually!!!

Yeh I got one its an out standing harp xcellant on over blow good
for bending very responsive worth the £45 I paid for it the top end
is crisp and clear two suck as with a lot of harps takes some effort
the comb is made from bamboo xtra water resistant so thats cool
and on either end of the harp it is open [slits] to give better
volume and tone and I would think it also assists with over blow
its my second choice of harp my first being the Suzuki Pro 350 a
differant harp and amazingly easy to play and for both novice and
seasoned player I hope this helps OK.

Thanks for the report, PJD. The list of harmonicas I want is longer than the list of ones I have!

Hi Gatman yeh I can relate to that if I gave you a list of the harps
I own you may think I am a little crazy all bought over a the year I
have been learning but I think you need to try them how else will u
know which one you like best and suits u best harps I think they are a bit
like humans every single one is differant and unlike humans if you
maybe dont care too much for them we just put them back in their
box and move on but I find usually that the price you
pay reflects on the quality of harp you get. Also I found one of the
best beginner harps for modest price is the Hohner special m20
Ideal for a freshman and then if you find that the harp is not for you
you know you havent broken the bank they sell for about £24 over
here whats that about $35 and its a good player. lol
