I have one of those dreaded Fender harp cases everyone is so down on (I
happen to like it). It has two trays which each hold nine harps. I have
mine full, and arranged so I know what's where. The upper tray holds the
keys: A, Bb, C, D, D(low), F, F(low), G(high) and G. The lower tray hold
the more "unusual" keys, although I frequently go there for the Eb and
Eb(low), and for harps for other positions. I don't usually spend a lot of
time looking for a harp once I know the key. It's when they start playing
and DON'T call the key that I have to look around. Now if I could play
everything on my C diatonic...
