    How are the Stainless Steel Reeds for bending? I am 80, have copd, much prefer the tones of lower range (I have 2 "G: harps, a Bushman Delta Frost and a Hohner Spec 20). I am able to bend all 8 (normal) bend tones, but have not learned to control my bends. I have several cheaper "c" harps, which I find harder to bend (they seem to leak air when I try to bend) I also have a Lee Oscar low C, which seems to require more 'air' than I have. Holes 1-3 are extremely hard to bend for me, but 4 and 6 are no problem, so the LOW C is apparently beyond my abilities. I am primarily interested in playing melodies for my own pleasure. I love the old songs, especially from Musicals *like Show Boat" particularly the happy and sad love songs. I have a LOT of experience with Accordion and Organ, but unable to play them because of a bad back.

    I've only tried one Harmonica with a stainless steel reeds, where they are easier to clean I found they weren't as resonant as a brass reed which was a bit more difficult to bend. I've heard that it's something to get used to, but I didn't stick with it long enough to find that out for sure or not.
