Then Fernando:
Sorry, but I don't think they have even tried to play diatonic 
harmonica
chromatically, so I am sure they never had to make such a decision, 
thus,
not being able to agree or disagree...

Then I said:
  Actually, one the first notable uses of overblows on a diatonic was a Toots Theilemans album that came out around 1969.  I don't know the title or cut.  Perhaps Patmissin.com has the answer.  Or does someone here know?
