Subject: Chromatic harmonicas without valves

Hi,

Does anyone have thoughts on the Tombo Unica Formal vs. the Tombo S-50?
I understand that both are valveless as there is a separate channel for each
note. However, the Unica Formal has a slide and the S-50 does not. It
would seem that the S-50 would be very air tight. Is it more difficult to
play without the slide? The distance between notes would appear to be
allmost twice as far when compared to a normal chromatic like the Hohner
270. Are the Tombo's both difficult to master?
