I'm proud to announce the release of a Small but Mighty new product: my Easy-Fit Universal Power-Valves. These are single valves (sometimes called windsavers) that are ridiculously quick and easy to fit, can be installed in any kind of harmonica, and will add power/expression to the notes they affect.
I've spent decades trying out different valve materials for my own harps - for both single valves and my unique Gasket-Valves. I finally found a material that ticks all the important boxes: rugged, non-stick, and low noise. I've also come up with a way to provide my single valves on a handy strip of 12 valves with adhesive already attached, so there's no need for messing about with glue! This makes them super easy and fast to attach to the reedplate, without any special skill - anyone can do it, with just a small pair of scissors and some tweezers.

In the video I demonstrate how to install them on four different types of harmonica: Richter diatonic, Trochilus, outside valves on Forerunner, and replacing a single damaged valve on chromatic.
