Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

Very interesting, however it seems that people at Suzuki are selling some other kind of tuning. Their C natural minor tuning has both G and G# on the same harp. It could be some kind of Dorian+Aeolian equivalent of Lydian+Ionian "Country Tuning". Their natural minor (CNm) is just the tuning you des...

A friend and colleague asked this morning during breakfast: Does a harmonica work under water, and if not what does it take for it do so? The question came from a Facebook group, where nobody apparently had an answer. What complicates the question considerably is that water has very different acoust...

David: yes, I was talking about a PowerChromatic in G, starting on A blow: AB. CD. EF#. GA. etc That's an interesting grading system Edvin. What are your criteria for 'good' and 'very good'? I'm assuming you mean something like 'ease of playing' or 'flow'. Here's a video of a PowerChromatic in G go...

We will add the gaskets into your order for you.

Thanks for finding the issue with that particular combination - now fixed.

Thank you!

It seems to work if I exclude the blow plate gasket for the Session Steel. I've gone through most of the models, and for those I've tried a through-out regular breathing pattern is not compatible with a blow plate gasket. Don't worry, I understand side effects are hard to avoid during maintenance :)...

Is this G? (A/B C/D E/F# G/A A/B) That's how is labeled on Seydel's website. What other keys do you use or do you play everything on one harmonica? While waiting for a response from Brendan, here are my 2 cents on the topic. What I like to do when faced with these kinds of questions is to: 1. Grade...

I have been trying to buy these for a few days now, but it's proven difficult! Now that the store seems to be working again, and the text on the page seems to have caught up with the price adjustment for larger orders, I face another difficulty: There are no gasket-valves with regular breathing patt...

Actually it's not necessary to drill holes in the covers, since they are Jim's Turbolids: pull-off snap-on in seconds. I actually came to the same conclusion after thinking it through again :D Since metal covers is an option as well the idea might still have some value. The reason I didn't think of...

I've been trying to order some gasket-valves, but I can't seem to check out from the online store. I enter some products into my cart, and open the window to view it. There is a button for checking out with PayPal, but when I click it there is a pop-up window informing me I must enter a zip code. Wh...

I just found that your tuning can be bought off the shelf from Suzuki! Apparently, when you buy a harp labelled "Natural minor" from Suzuki you won't get the same layout as you would from the other major manufacturers, but the one you described. At least if the following chart is up to date: http://...
