Re: PowerChromatic Demo Video with Tuning Diagrams
Good to hear from you Ed. Thanks for the extra strong points you mention - any examples? Would love to hear some of your work on PowerChromatic Tuning.

Re: What Would You Like to See?
Thanks for the question Boris - apologies for the slow reply. I think the simple answer is to create stuff that people want! Preferably NEW stuff, that pushes the boundaries and gets players excited about the extended possibilities of what they could achieve if they own it. If they feel that urge, t...

Re: Mind-instrument or Orientation on different harps
Good question. I manage by having two types of harmonicas: 1. A couple of tunings that I'm confident improvising with: PowerBender on diatonic and PowerChromatic for slide harps. 2. A larger number of specialist genre tunings where I mostly memorise tunes, and don't improvise beyond a few melodic va...

PowerChromatic Demo Video with Tuning Diagrams
Like several others in the scene who develop specialist harmonica tunings and setups (eg. PT Gazell with his Gazell Method valves, or Tony Ayers with his Major Cross Tuning), I have a page on the Seydel website for a couple of my diatonic harp tunings: PowerBender and PowerDraw. Now we’ve added a sp...

Re: New and Unique TWIN-DIATONIC HARPS - Demo Videos
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I will be posting detailed videos on assembly and harp/tuning options over the next two weeks. Keep the questions/suggestions coming, there are so many possibilities these twin-diatonics can fulfil

Re: New and Unique TWIN-DIATONIC HARPS - Demo Videos
Easttop have a different reedplate screw arrangement, same pattern as Seydel but smaller combs.
The Easttop stock comb/plates should fit the front housing, but for added valving they need my custom PowerCombs - coming soon!

New Types of Irish Harmonica: TWIN DIATONICS
After intensive R&D over the past couple of years, I've come up with a quick-change double-harp assembly that really works. I'm shortly releasing my ground-breaking Twin-Diatonic harps in a range of exciting options - check out the two videos to see and hear them all in action. Some of them suit Iri...

New and Unique TWIN-DIATONIC HARPS - Demo Videos
The idea of combining two 10-hole harps behind a single mouthpiece is not new, but it's not easy to get good reed response and has never been done convincingly before - until now. After intensive R&D over the past couple of years, I've come up with a quick-change double-harp assembly that really wor...

Re: Blues Harp Mouthpiece and Mini PitchBender for the DM48
Sounds good! Seems similar to Jam Origin:

I bought the iPad app and tried it via iRig with my mic, but it was very glitchy. Have you tried Migic with a mic yet?
