I really enjoy the Melody Maker.  I have two of them.  You do have to do a bit of work to understand and memorize where the notes are (as of course you have to do with any alternate-tuned harp).  If you've been playing for a long time, your mind is probably attuned to always playing major-key stuff in a straight-harp position, and it can be a bit of a mind- boggler to get yourself accustomed to playing it in cross-harp position.   Once you do, though, there's a world of possibilities on the Melody Maker.

It would be nice to hear it without the reverb amp making him sound like he is mixing in a recording studio, but then, it wouldn't be a commercial. Cross harp is blues. I will leave you to decide. Someone own one of these who isn't Lee Oskar going to tell us what they think?

I am the big deal harp player at our coffeehouse and I am NOT a big deal harp player.  I could use something like this.

@gt3107 yeah he used a melody maker in the key of A in the metro busking documentary he did. Wonderful harp! I love it, it's the kind of harmonica that's more open to playing whatever comes to mind. I sincerely recommend it!
