Not particularly interested in buying this model, but was just intrigued as to how it played/sounded. Does anyone have it at all? There's not much info about it anywhere

I looked at an add for one once! I think I asked something about it but no one knew anything. I'm curious too.
edit- (From the Hohner site)
Featuring special heavy duty chrome reed plates that spec out to 2.25 mm thick, the new 225 Deuce and a Quarter harp produces thick rich tones that will stand up to abuse longer than most any other harmonicas. This heavy duty harp feels great in your hand and has a loud voice that really projects making it perfect for Blues and Rock. The “Deuce” is a custom harp designed for players that are ready to rock and who want to look really good while doing it. It is available in a limited quantities and only in the key of A (to accompany jams in the key of E, which is most guitar players favorite key). This harp features special black cover plates and a black plastic carrying case with custom Deuce & a Quarter graphics. Available while limited supplies last.

I was looking at the 225 Chromettica. This Deuce and a quarter has chromed plated reeds? Does sort of look like an old Buick, only offered in A.

Chrome plated reedplates maybe, but chrome plated reeds wouldn't work. Plates that thick will mean it'll be loud, downside is the reeds will flat out quicker if abused. Covers and comb remind me of the old handmade proharps (my all time favourite Hohner), but at $60 a pop I won't be bothering. Notice the use of "custom" in the marketing spiel. Hohner definitely concentrating their efforts on the top end of the market now.

If it was such a good harp, wouldn't at least one of us own one?
