And even though I don't use them much, mine are likewise VERY well
organized in my Hohner case. Also, I keep aboput a half dozen C harps in
a bank of Oskar cases.

My most "disorganized" harp "collection" is my C and B harps in my shirt
pocket. The C is in a Hoghner belt pouch (OLD leather), and the B is
loose. With these two, I feel VERY comfortable with ANY harp situation,
regardless of key, mode, melody, etc.
