They do still make the Special 20 low harps and are generally sold for the same price as the standard keys, though sometimes stores sell them for a premium due to the special-order nature of those keys. The Crossover version of the low keys is called the Thunderbird and goes from Low F to Sub-Low F. The Special 20's are good harps, but I personally prefer the sound of the Thunderbirds due to their Marine Band design.

I'll drop you a note off-line regarding the Artist Studies.
