My understanding of how the 270 chromatics work is that the key signature of the harmonica means the slide in posistion will be the next half step up. For example if the harmonica was marked A the slide in would be A# or Bb. Is this correct? I've always wondered why Farrel offered an Eb 270. There must be a good reason or they wouldn't be avaialable. Are there players who want to play in Eb without the slide? What other keys does this configuration facillitate playing in? Is the tuning Eb E? My last weeks post on Farrel was in no way meant to discourage anyone from buying from them. As I've said privately to others on the list good prices excellent value. A combination that's hard to beat. I'm eyeing the 270's and resigning myself to spending some $$ with Farrel again soon. FJM
