[updated:LAST EDITED ON Mar-16-06 AT 10:50 PM (EST)]Sonny Boy recorded several LP's using the 14 hole Marine Band in the key of C. He used it a lot on his European tours during the 60's. Check out the various CD's and LP's with Memphis Slim that he recorded during the American Folk Blues Festival tours. On his final LP, The Last Sessions, he used it almost exclusively. It's great stuff.
I've seen RJ Mischo use one of those harps. With the right haircut, he's 5'10" and has smaller hands. He gets killer tone out of that harp.
Despite what women will tell you, size doesn't matter. Well, at least not this time.
