Re: PowerChromatic realization
Glad you like PowerChromatic David. I guess that is one in G?
You can also get enharmonics for many other notes as slide-in draw bends. All the draw slide-out notes can be duplicated this way:
A. B. D. F#
And all the slide-in blow notes:
A#. C#. F. G#.

Re: TuneMaster harmonica
Actually it's not necessary to drill holes in the covers, since they are Jim's Turbolids: pull-off snap-on in seconds.

Re: Diatonic PowerCombs and Stealth-Valves Released
The new valving solution is finally here, the Gasket-Valve: http://www.brendan-power.com/GasketValves.php Thanks to all for your patience and trust. 🙏 BTW: with the Gasket-Valve's arrival, my diatonic PowerComb range has lost its primary selling point: the valve pockets, to accommodate the bases of ...

Re: Paddy richter slide diatonic creation
Sorry for the delayed reply Jimbo. Thanks to Edvin for the accurate tuning advice. On the D version: high key Switch-Harps suffer from the dreaded Helmholtz Resonance Coupling phenomenon, which makes the upper octave reeds go significantly flat. If you're playing in the lower two octaves it will be ...

Re: Introducing the GASKET-VALVE System
Apologies: I was assuming you meant the Solist Pro 12. I didn't realise Seydel had a Solist Pro 10 hole harp. Just found it on their site, it looks like the Classic. Good news: the Seydel sandwich (1847 type) Gasket-valve will fit all their 10 hole harps, including the Solist Pro. I think I have a S...

Re: High D diatonic chrom?
Hi Triona,
Sorry, I haven't much experience doing big retuning jobs on Seydels, only harps with brass or phosphor bronze reeds. I suggest contact Bertram for tech advice on steel reeds.

Re: High D diatonic chrom?
Sorry, just saw this thread! I make my high D slide diatonics from C chromatics. On 'New Irish Harmonica' they were Hohner Slide Harps in C tuned up to Paddy Richter Slide Diatonic. Nat long after making that album I switched to Paddy Solo for Irish music. I've tuned up various 12-hole C chroms to t...

Re: NEW: Seydel All Minor
This is a great idea! Bertram Becher showed it to me about a year ago, great to see Seydel have now released it
