I have used Special 20s for a long time. They have a nice, "folksy" sound, they bend easily enough, and they last a pretty long time. I tried a Lee Oskar and didn't care for it. It didn't have the "folksy" tone (I think this is because of the equal temperament) and it was hard to get a good sound out of the #2 draw, which is the most important note as it's the tonic when you're playing cross harp.

After reading some of the comments here and elsewhere, I'm interested in the Suzuki Harpmaster. They're hard to find. None of the major online music retailers that I tried had them. Where do you get them?
