Actually there are three chord models that Hohner has produced.  The other
one is an Al Fiorie model where all the chords are (I think) 1st
inversion.  this is done to give the chord a deeper, richer sound.  Al 
used it on many of the Harmonicat recordings.  Don Allen has one and let
me play on it.  Wow sounds better than any other chord harmonica I have
heard.  Don Allen uses this on a regular basis and I believe he may have
another one for sale.(Contact me for more info on this)
