Re: Asiabend or solo-tuned unibender?
We got a big number of orders for the SwitchHarp/MiniChrom and it overwhelmed our capacity to make them quickly. We stopped orders for a short time to improve production systems. The UniBender will be out in about two weeks when we are confident we can make and ship all the TwinDiatonics quickly. Th...

Re: Diatonic PowerCombs and Stealth-Valves Released
Yes, the S20 reed layout is identical to the Marine Band, Crossover etc BTW, my previous reply that you can mix and match my Stealth-Valves across various brands is not strictly correct. That's because the angle of the reeds from longest to shortest varies. That's where the sets of valves differ, so...

Re: Asiabend or solo-tuned unibender?
When the UniBender is released I'll do a video showing the comparison between it and the AsiaBend. It's easier to explain that way.

Re: Diatonic PowerCombs and Stealth-Valves Released
Hi Karl, All brands of 10-hole harmonica except Seydel have a spacing of about 7.5mm between holes and reeds. That means you could mix and match my valves between brands, with a bit of trimming However their reed lengths differ, so I took the time to make subtle adjustments appropriate to Hohner and...

Re: How would you tune this Starter or EasyPlay harp?
With such a small number of holes I'd want to maximise the range whilst keeping the scale simple for beginners, plus giving nice double-stop and chord intervals. This semi-pentatonic tuning ticks all those boxes. I've used it myself for a number of years. It's actually the bottom end of Paddy Richte...

Re: Asiabend or solo-tuned unibender?
It can have the same bends, but is blow/draw instead of all-draw. The clip I play on the UniBender in the video ("Wayfaring Stranger") is in Solo tuning, with the same bends as the AsiaBend.

Re: PowerChromatic: The 12 Major Scales with Bends ; Setup Advice
Nice one! I just made up those solos on the spur of the moment, never thought anyone would transcribe and learn them - it's an honour that you've gone to all that effort, Nick! Now you just need your own Andrew White

The MiniChrom / SwitchHarp is Released
This TwinDiatonic harmonica can be configured in so many ways! Its patent-pending airtight sliding mouthpiece allows you to switch instantly between two 10-hole diatonics attached behind; the sound you get all depends on what setup, key and tuning you choose for the two harps. The mouth hole spacing...
