Hi Luke great to read your overblow story. You may want to search Arkia signatures or origins. They are computer set up to bend and overblow. Jonah fox does a review and another well known guy on youtube usese them to practice. Might save ypu a few dollars
The Arkia harps from France are very good. Prices are (here in Germany):
Arkia Origin 94 € (currently on sale for 80 Euros)
Arkia Signature 154 € (has Hohner Crossover reeds)
To get them in the USA you must consider the time for shipping as well as postage.
Hey @jonathanwhitehouse - thank you so much for bringing these to my attention! I will definitely check them out!!
Thanks luke great site and you are a great ambassador for learning the harmonica. I wish you and your family a great holiday weekend.
Oooh, thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it John!
Have you done a review on Arkia yet…?
no i haven’t jonah fox has done one and Paul messinger i think thats his name. im not good enough to get the best out of them yet but they bend well for my ltd technique. The players https://youtu.be/SepQiusUqa4?si=B8Qz0Ocy6twwCr_z
For someone of your talents should be a piece of cake. Interestingly Jason Ricci has said he doesnt play lee oskars as they dont overblow well which maybe is why you were having trouble.
