I have played stacked harmonica. I prefer Suzuki Overdrive key A and C.

I also see online they sell a stacked set for classical orchestras and the =
price is about $250 or something of that sort.

I am so tempted, but that is too high of a ticket for me to pay if it is no=
t the same effect.

I would like to manufacture a device that would hold two harmonicas no matt=
er what the style and shape.

Suzuki Overdrives are not rectangular. They are sloped and the holes are on=
 the top not the back so there has to be a slight separation or the holes o=
n the bottom will be blocked.
