More Valves

In addition to the standard half valve job, I put valves on the low end of the Lucky13, both blow and draw. With a bit of adjusting and practice, I can now blow bend and draw bend the notes on the first 3 holes. Very, very cool. I just love these harps!!!

Re: Controllable Note Bending on MIDI Harmonicas - What are the Options?

Would depend on how it is built/set up. If the movement was, say an inch in distance, but you could adjust whether an inch would equal a 0 to 1/2 step interval, a whole step interval or more.

Re: What to seal combs with.

Food grade mineral oil and bees wax are 2 things I have used. Both readily available in the USA, don't know about where you live. The bees wax, I got online from Amazon, the mineral oil was available in drug stores/pharmacies.
