For years, chromatic harmonica players have complained about one thing in particular: sticky windsavers (notes that stick or popping sounds). Some harmonicas suffer more from this than others, and the player also plays a role. Some people simply play with more moisture in their mouths than others, but temperature fluctuations and wear and tear are also major factors.

Easttop designed this model for these reasons; the Forerunner and this is the improved version, the 2.0.
(more airtight, slider system has been improved, slide works quieter and smoother)
