I can bear witness to that, although I do seem to recall that an otherwise
stock looking Golden Melody you were using at one point had a suspicous
(sp?) looking button on the end ... just exactly what does that thing do?

[Needless to say, Winslow can blow an over just as well without it
(almost), but enquiring minds want to know]

And I can definitely attest to the fact that Lee doesn't use overblows (or
that's what he says). They just don't feature in his "palette" of
"colors", man. He does however have an array of interestingly tuned harps
he slips in there when you aren't looking, and not just the ones he sells.

Low. Rye. Dur.

PS. Without wanting to embarass him, Winslow is hands down one of the
tastiest diatonic merchants it has ever been my very distinct pleasure to
listen to. Not only can he walk the walk and type the type, he can blow
that thing. Record us some soundbytes, Winslow.
