How’s the air tightness? Will it still overblow?

Pretty awesome man. Mine are in cue and will print at the library this week, I’ll be sure to post how it goes!

I've been messing around with my Hohner 260 and Koch 10 hole chromatic. I saw Brendon's video on the integrated slider mouthpiece, and he mentioned that he did some work to reduce the height of the comb. I'm interested in this as a next step in my experiments with Richter-tuned chromatics. I imagine...

Thanks Brendon - really appreciate your expertise. I do think there’s a little room to improve the overblow ability of this harp, but it’s in the “I could just leave it” category. But I am interested in having a better feel of the reeds, and I’m curious if these types of changes would influence the ...

Or vice versa for playing in flat/sharp keys. That’d get to proof of concept faster, so that’s the rou...

I hadn’t considered that the tuning layout requires an extra slider hole, but that makes sense. It might take some time but I’ll give it a try. I’m also wondering if eliminating the extra slider hole could hole could reduce the length requirement for the front of the harp. I think an ideal version o...

I'm interested in trying this out for the Game Changer Harmonica. I notice, if I play it with out the mouthpiece, I can feel the reeds more during bends and such. The mouthpiece it comes with is already pretty shallow, which is good, but I'm curious just how close I can get to those reeds. One quest...
