The vast majority of brick and mortar music stores won't carry them because the ones that usually buy them are advanced players and they do not move product fast enough off the shelves to make it profitable and the best thing to do is to order them online from a harp specialist stores like Coast To Coast Music. Besides, the people that work in those stores including the management tend to be clueless about ANYTHING remeotely related to harmonicas, period.

i just like marine bands better an id rather have a complete set then mismatched harps. plus the lee oskar is a little bit longer an it pushes on the top of my case ever so slightly.

You could tune a MB to just about any tuning you can imagine, including minor. I am tempted to set up a harp to the tuning Carlos del Junco uses on B-Thing. Actually, I picked up an E MB and am currently working on it. The comb is sealed, covers opened, converted to screws, and I am in the middle of the reed work. I tune at the end and might mix it up.
I am starting to really dig Marine Bands, but they take more work than just the reed work you can do on a GM.
