Re: Combine a Powerdraw with a Lucky 13 !
The second row of tabs, second tab over labelled "Special Tunings (New!)" is where you can order a Lucky 13 power draw or power bender.

Re: Q: How to join two harps with magnets?
I did this with an acrylic wedge and 1/8 magnets I bought on amazon. No scratches, no problems with seydel steel reeds being affected and plenty strong to hold them together. The edge of the acrylic wedge does hit the corner of your mouth when you play the edges so I wouldn't play a long time with t...

What to do with a 16 hole brass comb eastop?
I'm interested in trying out power chromatic and also wanted to check out the brass comb eastop, so I had in mind to get one and get a set of suzuki reed plates tuned to power chromatic. I bought the eastop through brendan's site and it is as hefty and solid as advertised. I never really liked the s...

Re: Four-chords tuning for six-hole harp
Over the years I've made a number of variations on this kind of harp both in real life and more often on paper. For my ear, the thing that makes an individual chord sound better on a harmonica is having at least one duplicate note an octave apart. For the overall chord progression, having chords in ...

Re: Power Chromatic
I'm considering trying out an Eastop harmonica and also interested in trying power chromatic, so might just go for both at the same time.
Which model of eastop chromatic would you recommend getting to retune to power chromatic? Any near term power chromatics coming from Brendan's bag of tricks?

Re: Currently available paddy richter harmonica
But hang in there, because I have a radical alternative idea coming very soon that will allow us to solve this problem and offer all kinds of other specialist harmonica models without having to rely on the vagaries of working with manufacturers in remote locations. It will be first announced on thi...

Re: Retuning a Hohner Vineta
Wow! Thanks for the info. It looks like maybe trying to find the Gm Dm Am version would make a nice complement to the one I have. Still interested in anyone's chord suggestions. At it's simplest, I suppose the question is this: If you have C, F, G and C7, G7, D7, what next 6 chords would you most li...

Retuning a Hohner Vineta
I recently bought a hohner Vineta and have really enjoyed this bass/chord instrument. In case you don't know: The Vineta is a no longer produced harmonica with 6 sets of reed holes. There is a two reed bass section adjacent to a 6 reed chord section. The most common layout is: F/Fmaj C/Cmaj G/Gmaj b...

Re: Anyone Playing the Turboslide?
The turbo slide installs on the upper reed plate using the existing screw holes with a few different length screws in places to accommodate the slide. The cover plate has to be cut to accommodate the slide. Replacing the reed plate isn't much different than on a standard session steel harp. It's bee...

Currently available paddy richter harmonica
Hi,
I've been interested in trying a paddy richter harp and the slide diatonic seems interesting but currently not available. What are the current options for paddy richter? Are there any plans to bring back the slide diatonic paddy richter?
