Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

Now I am having fun discovering the possibilites of the Hohner 48 Chord harmonica. Oh, I have one too since recently. Just not yet played very much on it. :oops: For learning I can recommend this tutorial in 16 lectures: Al Smith, Chord Solos for the 48 Chord Harmonica; 1989, Richfield Township, OH...

Triona, Is the Tombo No. 1577 out of production? The S50 still is available but not in the US. (Shipping available to the US, though.) I tried to look at the link you provided comparing the 1577 and S50 but besides being in German (!), the image was no longer available. Can you summarize the differ...

F natural in G is not there, that's a drawback. Possibly you could substitute one of the F# notes for an F, but that could be awkward. The best one would be lowering the draw F# in the G scale to F, and removing the inside valve. That would give you a blow bend down to F#, as well as the slide-in v...

Or is it an idiom I never have heard of before? :oops: Hi Triona, cover plates are chrome. Oh, v...

No problems on the PM yet. I got it. I will answer tonight regarding the trade (payment, shipping address etc). As for the harmonica: I presume the cover plates come with the black coating as a surface finish? They usually were like this those days afaik. Maybe I can get some chrome steel cover plat...

Hi Dan, I would like to buy the Lucky13 Power Chromatic, key D. Is it posible for you to post it to Germany? (I think a normal letter will do.) Btw: Did I count out the layout of the D key correctly? (The layout of the G key I copied from Brendans website.) https://up.picr.de/38477004bs.jpg dear gre...

English rock harmonica star Will Wilde meets Swedish rock and blues harmonica lady Elin “Luffar Lo” Öberg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhrt8QBcngg It is a Seydel promotion video for their harmonicas with the new Will Wilde tuning. This seems to be worthwhile to be discussed here as well btw. dea...
