Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

Thank you for the link and for the exact numeric evaluation. And what can we learn from this? 2 harmonicas in D and G are way enough, for the biginning anyway, for future in most cases. And this will cover most of the related modes as well. Take a Richter or a Paddy or a Solo / Solo Orchestra - choo...

As soon as the NonSlider appears in the Configurator, I will jump in. Seydel makes any possible configuration on special request, even if it is not included in the configurator on their website. It only must be possible. This means that all parts which are necassary to configurate the harmonica are...

I see it now in "Diverse Spare Parts" for "Chromatic" at 69.95 USD "without VAT". I don't know if this means that VAT is yet to be added, or it might mean that no VAT will be added. "without VAT" = no VAT (tax) included - like always for exportation That means you must pay tax in USA (or elsewhere)...

More simple: Just change the two reed plates against each other. It changes blow-draw-direction as well. If you want to avoid this, choose 2 configurated reed plates where the keys are changed concerning the blow-draw-direction. Keep in mind, that the Sampler has both of the keys on 1 reed plate eac...

And I know one more (physically acoustic!) harmonica on which I can do it. :D And I use it widely. 8-) It is the Hohner Chordomonica II - a nearly forgotten ingenious invention of the well renowned harmonica virtuoso and temporally former chief manager of the Hohner company. It was once right off-th...

And Brendan already has got the touch. :D While this would be a very expressive chromatic for many styles, I'm sceptical about its use in Celtic music. At the speed the tunes go, you need to have all the notes of the scale as in-built notes without a button push. Besides the already mentioned domina...

You know the feeling: The band start playing an Irish reel in Ab or C#m, and you left that particular slide diatonic at home. This would require a double chromatic , unfortunately. A double diatonic wouldn't do. Brendan used to make them: https://brendan-power.com/discontinued-harps.php#double-chro...

It's actually kind of neat, isn't it? :) Actually it seems like. Not that I have understood everything you told here thoroughly. But as a matter of fact - double diatonics are are a frequently used and beloved speciality of mine. :D But some questions: 1. "Brendan's Double Diatonic" ? Do you mean t...

My argument was if someone have one or two unused deluxe in their drawer because it did not meet the expectations as is, Propably this is a thing that nobody at Seydel's ever did expect nor can imagine. :D ... you can freely switch many parts between many of the other models because of same measure...

Well....i thought the decision not offer a mouthpiece as a spare was to odd, so i have talked to Seydel and they have now decided to offer it as a spare. :D That was a good idea. :idea: And I hope you did not mention my name as a reference. Did you talk to Bertram Becher? Or was it anyone else? Thi...
