Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

Check out this video: https://youtu.be/9D4Rc5s-_jQ :shock: :shock: :shock: I really can not recommend to treat a shrutibox with a coarse file like that. And neither I would recommend to do this after a vague examination of the reason of the buzzing like this, by pure guessing where the buzzing migh...

I play my Modular Harp from the beginning with a drone tuning. It is working very well. And it is the main purpose I am using it for beside experimentation with new tunings.

Thank you for the link and for the exact numeric evaluation. And what can we learn from this? 2 harmonicas in D and G are way enough, for the biginning anyway, for future in most cases. And this will cover most of the related modes as well. Take a Richter or a Paddy or a Solo / Solo Orchestra - choo...
