Re: Balkan tunes and tuning
Gerhard, and anyone else interested: the Lucky 13 in Diminished Tuning is now released: https://brendan-power.com/lucky13.php#lucky13Dim I was testing it out in Hijaz scale today.

Re: Balkan tunes and tuning
MALARZ: because I was curious, I laid out your tuning in a clear format. Edvin has sent you instructions on how to do it but, if you didn't see his message, they are below.

Re: Balkan tunes and tuning
EDVIN: I thought Gerhard's tuning looked a little familiar: just one note different from your 'Sharp Sister'! But it's those tiny variations that can make a big difference, especially for giving fluency in certain styles. In this case, it's a critical one for playing the Hijaz scale starting on D. G...

Piro39: I'd love to hear some music you're playing on your Hijaz harps. Do you have any you'd like to share?

Re: Balkan tunes and tuning
Sorry Gerhard! I assume this is a tuning that repeats every 5th hole (like Diminished-tuned, Solo, PowerChromatic etc)? That is indeed a nice tuning variation which I don't think we've seen before. Edvin has the sharpest eye for that kind of thing. It's the same as the one I used for Sweet Bulgarity...

Re: Balkan tunes and tuning
BALKAN and MIDDLE EASTERN SCALES on DIATONIC HARMONICA This is an interesting area that's been explored by only a few players (Roland von Straaten and Howard Levy come to mind), but they used standard Richter harps. There's a lot of scope for optimising the expressive feel of this wonderful music us...

Re: 1 Draw on Low EastTop Powerbenders
Here's an easy way to reshape coverplates, at front and rear: silverline-sheet-metal-clamps-40962-p.jpg I have one whose jaws happen to be almost exactly the length of the front of a typical harmonica tabbed coverplate. Simply grip the front lip of the lower cover and apply bending pressure, so it b...

Re: 1 Draw on Low EastTop Powerbenders
Thanks for the message. I'll talk to Easttop about it to see of we can get some deeper bottom covers. It could take a while, however! In the meantime, here are some quick solutions: 1. If you're the handy type and are willing to be proactive, it is possible to induce a higher clearance at the bass e...
