Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

Take your time, Brendan! Does two or three weeks change anything now? If you really want something you decide to wait for it. Not much to do about it.

My main reason to try the Unibender is to get rid of half-valving because the valves get stuck after a while. Not a big problem but nevertheless probably better without. So far half-valving have been the best solution for me without spending money on a customized harmonicas to play all scales chroma...

Yeah..that is REALLY a long time to wait! and one reason among others is probably because there is more people involved in the process and more different opinions too. And this was before the era of 3D printers. If you are a inventor like Brendan you are probably dependent on your creativity to push...

Good news Brendan! . I have been waiting for Unibender since October last year so Unibender is awaited for sure!

I have old harmonicas to play with but my concern is rather how much i should invest on my old solutions which need new parts. No meaning in buying more parts and have no use of them laying around if Brendans solutions is to my liking. I am aware of the obstacles to make it to finish and if Brendan ...

However, when the Unib...

Or you can make them yourself but you need to know how and how to put a new reed in. http://harp.andrewzajac....
