Re: Resin 3d printing reedplates

Just some food for thought, but would it be possible to resin 3d print reedplates? - Is the material food safe? - does the material have desired mechanical properties? - would the tolerances be accurate enough? - would it bring any advantages whatsoever? Cheers! Just saw this. My semi expert assess...

Re: X-HARPS : Personal Experimental Harmonica Project

Thanks.

Nicely done. But I could not hear any difference between the first (B.B.King) and the second (Bonamasa).
Did you use any electronical device to alter the sound?

Re: The best glue for valves?

If superglue drips into a reed slot it can be a nightmare to get out of there, but it's much easier to clean out the fabric glue. That is true. I strongly advice against any kind of customary superglue ( Sekundenkleber in German). It is much to inviscide to handle properly. Since I have tried this ...

Re: An alternative approach to starting new harp players

This is a very remarkable and interesting approach, worth to think about and maybe to develop even further on. ... As for the key of A [Paddy Richter] ... This has pros - like you already have written. A possible con would be, that the most available instruction books and song collections for beginn...

Re: XB-40s available?

Very very difficult. Sometimes coming up for ridiculously exorbitant prices.
I have some which I do not want to give away. I am looking for some in D and Bb, optionally in keys with more flats or F#, B or C for several years in vain.

Re: Turbo-slide for sax like vibrato?

Actually I agree on you with everything you wrote about further development of the Turboslide. It was just a question for I did not understand what you meant with the second magnetic bar.

Sax vibrato is done by slightly dropping the jaw and returning to the normal embouchure in rapid succession. Doing this creates a very slight change in pitch. I thought that if a turbo slide were adjusted t...
