Re: Chromabender x-reed setup question (PC tuning)
The ChromaBender reedplates are designed for Solo tuning. To adapt for PowerChromatic you need to reverse the reed direction of the X-Reed in holes 4/8/12 to match the other X-Reeds. Remove the reed and reinsert on the other side of the reedplate, then retune to the desired pitch.

Re: Diatonic PowerCombs and Stealth-Valves Released
Hi Karl, yes: choose the Suzuki Stealth-Valves. You might have to trim the valve bases here and there, but they will fit my own-brand PowerBender and PowerDraw harps.
I also make them for the PowerBender and PowerDraw Lucky 13, though they fit best on my Lucky 13 PowerComb.

Re: Discontinued
The ChromaBender was discontinued due to problems with the maker, Hering. They have been taken over by new management and communication, always difficult, became too tiresome to deal with. Eventually the hassle factor outweighed everything else and it was simply easier to cease dealing with the comp...

Re: Exotic Harps, Spare Parts, No Longer made Harps
Easier and faster to assemble. You can replaced welded reeds without a drill press if you're careful with a regular drill. Reeds can even be attached with Superglue if you don't like drills and screws.

Re: Diatonic PowerCombs and Stealth-Valves Released
Re. Prices: Note that they all include International Postage. That's not cheap but, as David says, multiple buys bring the per-kit price down. Try buying single valves online and compare the prices including postage - you'll find most are higher than mine in the final tally, and single valves don't ...

PowerChromatic: The 12 Major Scales with Bends ; Setup Advice
Using draw bends to get the sharps and flats on PowerChromatic makes playing in all 12 keys easier and smoother than on a standard chromatic.

Re: MiniChrom Prototype, played by Mitch Weiss
Hi Ed - currently I have the MiniChrom designed for Hohner, Seydel & Suzuki diatonics, and will add Easttop as well. There are only subtle differences between Hohner/Suzuki/Easttop sizes, but of course the Seydel version has wider hole spacing. We're just working on getting all the ordering options ...
