Just a quick reference to Richard Hunter's comment about
diatonic tone and consistency . . .

I agree, I don't think the diatonic community has these issues
licked, but as Dave mentioned in his post about trumpet etc-
those instruments have had some similar "issues" that have
been worked on by generations of players, and many of those
issues have been largely resolved over that long period of time . . .

We are only a few decades into some of these issues(some
issues-less than that), and I've got to believe that future
generations of diatonic players will have built upon the
traditions that are being established as we speak.

All true. We're all trying to redefine what's possible, and I hope and
trust that will never stop. I just want us all to be clear about what
the real state of the art is at any given point in time.
