Re: MODULAR-REED HARMONICA - Released!
I do have a couple of questions. Me too. And btw @Brendan: this is a longtime experience report as well. Here are some answers to rishios questions and my own questions in addition: - Does the adhesive wear down after a few times of taking it apart, causing the seal to leak? Yes, it does. The adhes...

Re: JOKER "superchromatic"
Apparently Hugh Stephenson held a patented for this particular tuning as per 1950. It would have come as a surprise to me if I were the first to come up with this idea. But to find out something what one has not yet known by oneself is very satisfying anyway. :D Novelty is in the eye of the beholde...

Re: Seydel Nonslider
However...i experience it easier to get it more airtight with the nonslider. Its just one part instead of three. And in addition to this: You can tighten the screws harder, because there is no slide that can be obstructed or blocked by too tight srews. But anyway: Off from the airtightness - the pl...

Re: MODULAR-REED HARMONICA - Released!
Oh, thank you. I had just been in the prosess of thinking about which I would like most the last days. I guess I will buy me some more in addition. And I have already prepared some questions about this. I think it is good to ask them right here. Maybe some others may have similar questions as well. ...

Re: Modular Reed mini shruti box?

I will work out the layout one of the next daxs and show it here.

Re: Diminished Tuning Another Key
Hey guys. Is this harmonica good for beginners? https://www.awkwardsound.com/hohner-marine-band-special-20-5-piece-pro-pack-review/ Yes. Btw: It would have been better if you would have opened a new thread for this. It has nothing to do with diminished tunings. And those are definitely not very sui...
