Making the sound of a plucked reed while playing? A new technique! (?)
I was playing around just now, and found something quite peculiar! Check this out: https://cloud.fripost.org/s/pdM7JFtAKKZw4xZ I play a completely normal Seydel Session Steel G (paddy) PowerBender, no magnets or anything. (The only somewhat unusual part of the setup is a curled up sock inside my cup...

Re: How to get Extra, Deeper Bends on Harmonica
That's a clever idea! Could you comment on any advantages of the slide-bend-enabler over the TurboSlide? The ones I could see are that it's easier to build yourself from a stock harp and the wider range of the 12 holes. The downside could be that the magnet blow bends are not smooth and the larger s...

Re: The new, updated DM48X is here!
Thanks, Brendan!
That ribbon controller does seem useful! As I understand it it's quite different from your miniMIDI-JOYstick, is this correct? Could you say something about how the two compare?

Re: Introducing the Wedin Chromatic – folk music ornaments in many keys
I finally got around to posting on Slidemeister: https://forums.slidemeister.com/index.php?topic=20627
I used the same sound clips but altered the presentation somewhat.

The new, updated DM48X is here!
I just saw an e-mail from Lekholm Instruments, announcing their introducing the successor to the DM48: DM48X ! The most apparent new features are that the new model has a ribbon controller on top, which could be used as a pitch-bender or to control the sound in other ways, and that it can be operate...

Re: MODULAR-REED HARMONICA - Released!
Are there any plans to make a Modular-Reed twin harmonica system?
There isn't much competition when it comes to chromatics in non-standard tunings, and it looks like it might turn out to be cheaper than Seydel's most basic custom-tuned chrom. Just saying...

Re: MODULAR-REED HARMONICA - Released!
Here is an example what a bent chord could sound like by the way! (Complete with comments from my producer )
I start playing the note pair GD, and then repeatedly bend the D down to a C. It's thus an example of a fifth being compressed to a fourth.

Re: MODULAR-REED HARMONICA - Released!
Thank you Brendan! I've been doing some more experimenting with my set lately, so new reeds could definitely be useful. :D I woke up early this morning and, half awake, I came to the realisation: If someone would like to know what a tremolo blues harmonica sounds like, the Modular Reed system is is ...
