I looked through a recent Hering Harp catalog and found what I think you are talking about... Hering puts out a harp (group of harps) called:
Carambola with six Melodiosa. There are six octave tuned harps on a common axis.
keys F G C A D Bflat. They also have a Carambola with 4 Harps: F G C D.
I have seen Hohner put these in catalogs over the years also, but I believe that they may be discontinued.
