David,

I’ve looked ahead in the LOA and made a list of need keys.  I’ve been buying the Hohner Crossover, but the Crossover does not come in Low F.  Is the Marine Band Thunderbird a good choice for Blues in Low F or do you have another recommendation?  The Thunderbird in Low F is twice the price of the Crossovers, so I want to make sure I’m getting the right thing.

Thank you,

Brian in Tennessee

Hello Brian. Get the Thunderbird F (not low-f, it’s already low, so a Thunderbird low-f will be double low). The Thunderbird is a Crossover with slight changes to make it better for the low tuning.
