Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

That is exactly the same what I have experienced over decades. And I always found it quite bizarre too. I always considered those people as "concrete-minded puristic fundamentalists". But most of them consider me as a quirky outsider not to be taken serious anyway. As far as it is concerning myself,...

I have a few more ideas to try on this comb as well, but I have three or four other project ideas in the works as well, but I need to remember to keep a reasonable amount of my time alotment to actually playing harmonica as well :-) Me too. So it might take a few day until I have sorted all the pic...

Hello Burke, welcome here. I have some neck problems due to cancer when I was an infant and spent a long time looking for the best neck holder. The best one I have found (and I have no affiliation) is from Farmer's Foot Drums here: https://www.footdrums.com/product/gecko-harp-holder/. The Farmer / S...

Here you have the layout of a chrom with straight slide and one with zig-zag slide in comparison: Chrom, C solo, straight slide All notes of C on the top reedplate, all notes of C# on the bottom. Any blow reed is located besides its respective draw reed. https://up.picr.de/47100196hf.jpg obere Stimm...

How many reeds did you place in each semi-hole? Is it a 10/20- or a 20/40-harmonica? What is your note layout like? I really wish I could read German now! This could be no mistake. ;) Germany and Austria are the countries where the harmonica had been invented before it conquered the world. And it is...

Regarding TEMU, you don’t have to buy it there, as far as i know it is also sold by bushman (under Game Changer name) in US and i have seen some serious people reviewing it (Winslow for example), it seems to be a decent product at least. I did not mean the harmonica, which I am not in doubt of. I j...

Marketed by TEMU?
There are some serious warnings against TEMU, concerning excessive data grabbing and commercial abuse and even fraud.

Yes, the wider jump would be something to overcome, but since I can now print my own combs maybe I can compensate with some clever hole spacing. It is true that you easily can produce any comb with 3-D-Print. But keep in mind, that you need fitting reedplates to any comb. And they are not as easy t...

I did not know this. This is great to know! It also means that overall comb thickness is another variable I can play with, which makes me happy :-) I did not expect that you did not know this. But thinking about this just now I hit upon a top crazy idea going out from this: Why not thinking about a...

... I would need 11 more switchharps :-) I fear you will not escape this as long as you stick to diatonics - of which variant ever. :lol: ... Seydel ... "All Minor" ... One good news is that this concept proves magnetically dropping draw reed pitch is possible :) I also see why they attached the ma...
