NEW MODEL: Lucky 13 PowerChromatic in Key of C
Although it's perfectly possible to play in C major on the previously released Lucky 13 PowerChromatic harps in G and D, I kept getting requests for a further model based in C - so here it is! https://youtu.be/URo-UqzHQKY I demonstrate how to play nine easy major and minor keys on this harp, with th...

Lucky 13 in Diminished Tuning: Chromatic Scales and Runs
By contrast with any other diatonic harmonica, playing full chromatic scales (and short chromatic runs inside melodic licks) is SO EASY on the Diminished Tuning Lucky 13. Here's a video demo, with scale layout and handy Phrase Diagrams: https://youtu.be/3_4oYUFPtH0 (Ordering link in the Video Descri...

Re: Lucky 13 in Diminished Tuning - Just Released
Edvin Wedin has created a tool that can generate Phrase Maps from code. He prefers a version with blow note on top, but it can be flipped to have blow on bottom (as I prefer) instantly. Nice! Here are the two versions for Hijaz scale on Diminished: BLOW NOTE AT BOTTOM Lucky 13 Diminished Tuning - Hi...

Re: Lucky 13 in Diminished Tuning - Just Released
Here is Alfred's way to draw Diminished Tuning Phrase Maps (from the link in the previous post). Instead of scale degrees in numbers, he uses note names, and adds hole numbers. He also has the grid in a different order. These Minor Pentatonic scales are the same as the Blues Pentatonic ones in my ea...

Re: Lucky 13 in Diminished Tuning - Just Released
Today I discovered a very good exponent of Diminished Tuning on diatonic: Alfred Hirsch. He has a couple of videos on YouTube, here's one: TAKE FIVE https://youtu.be/IAeYandwJqc I did more searching on Alfred, and found this very interesting and helpful page on the Seydel website: https://www.seydel...

Re: Balkan tunes and tuning
Thanks Edvin! I saved your flipped version of the Dimi Hijaz Phrase Maps (attached). Great your new tool allows players to select which version they like. Blow note at the bottom feels more logical in musical terms to me, so that's what I'll choose. Though I haven't used them in the past, I'm findin...

Re: Balkan tunes and tuning

The only thing I would do differently to put the blow note on the bottom. Since these are graphic representations of pitch, it see...
