Double Paddy?
I read someplace about someone playing a Lucky 13 tuned Double Paddy? What is the tuning layout?

Re: PowerBender/PowerDraw/PowerChromatic for Irish?
Hi Brendan, Thanks for taking the time to reply with your thoughts and your history with this idea and the musical examples. I play button accordion with no bending capabilities. I am enjoying learning and discovering the great emotional pleasure of bending notes on the harmonica. Could you add a li...

PowerBender/PowerDraw/PowerChromatic for Irish?

For example, taking two G chromatics, removing the G# reed plate from then the G from the other and putting the two G plates t...

Re: Chromatic for Irish-- there can be only one! (For me at least)
if I retune the D reed plate to Bebop tuning in my chromatic D/C# (slide out) then I also will need to retune the C# reed plate? I’m new to altered tunings (and to retuning) and appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
Thanks!
