Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

I've really been getting into Thor on iPad with the DM48 this past week. Bernzilla's patch set is good: http://www.berniekenerson.com/sound_design/ As you say Lizzie, its so user friendly. Nearly ready to take it on a gig, quite a threshold to cross! The Mini PitchBender are nearly ready to ship, ju...

Hi David, I saw on Harp-L you have an update to your excellent chrom, but the link didn't work. Always interested to see your new stuff, so please keep us informed here

Your machined comb looks beautiful BTW.

yes, it's really easy

Hi Folks, thanks for the positive feedback on the OctaChroms. To answer: OTHER BRANDS I have Hering and Easttop nearly ready. However both are like the 270: restricted to key of C unless you do retuning. I'm looking at Swan, as they do a high D chrom, but not sure yet if I need to design a whole new...

As there has been an increasing interest in PowerChromatic tuning I asked Seydel if they could add it to the Power Tunings page on their website - which they have now done!
