Hey, I found a harp that could solve your problem. Its called the Turbo. It comes in 2 models--the Turbo 20 and the Turbo BX. It has a wild and cool looking ergonomic design. It uses the Special 20 reedplates and the cover is plastic. I found it on an amazing site that seems to have a review of every harmonica ever made. It got a fairly high rating. No idea of price, however...wait a minute...okay, $55.95 on Amazon for the Turbo 20. The one there has a clear plastic cover so you can see the guts--wierd. The one on [
www.ianchadwick.com] is black and much better looking. They are supposed to be pretty good for bending. Anyway, seems there is a plastic harp that's actually pretty decent.
