Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

Hi Folks, thanks for the positive feedback on the OctaChroms. To answer: OTHER BRANDS I have Hering and Easttop nearly ready. However both are like the 270: restricted to key of C unless you do retuning. I'm looking at Swan, as they do a high D chrom, but not sure yet if I need to design a whole new...
