Re: Comb of Fanfare S question

It is the same comb as used on their chromatics, so the button in and button out reeds need to be separated. That saves them some programming/ machining work. Also, tremolo reeds seem to work better with the divider, even though you activate both chambers at the same time. Without the divider there ...

I think the joke was the Mixolydian Irish Scale play on words. I appreciated it as well.

Re: THE ENTERTAINER - Played on Lucky 13 in PowerChromatic Tuning

More lessons in general would be great.
Maybe done in blocks?
Chinese music for the slide diatonic ?
Irish music for the slide diatonic ?
Both for the PC?
Or pull a few tunes from Unadorned with lessons....
Great stuff so far, keep it coming.

Re: Harmonicas with Modular Reedplates

Re: THE ENTERTAINER - Played on Lucky 13 in PowerChromatic Tuning

If there is a way you can show the jianpu on the loopable midi files that would be something!
I’m tempted to purchase the lesson even though I don’t play PC.
Maybe I’ll make one.
