The SlipSlider - a Revolutionary Blues Harp.

[Brendan]

Yes, I'm in SlipSlider zone at present! Hope to get all the variations and different brands/models out this week, then I can move on to other designs/ideas.

For harmonica customisers and players who like to work on their own harps, here's a video showing the 'from scratch' raw parts SlipSlider option:

It goes with a second video showing how to assemble the finished parts to the harp. It plus pics of the latest coloured-comb versions are here:

Are probably buying a sanding jig to Seydel powerbender Slipslider. You talked about extend the Seydel slipslider. Does the slipslider still fit the sanding jig after the extension?

[Brendan]

Good point - no, we'll have to make a longer jig for the Seydel SlipSlider.

[Brendan]

Bit of a delay with releasing the other brand SlipSliders, had a gig in London that took quite a bit of time in rehearsals and travel etc. Note to self: don't make promises on release dates, life tends to get in the way. But we'll get there in time...

[Lizzy]

Well...if you are a musician, inventor and businessman at the same time its not hard to imagine that life dont have enough hours.

SEYDEL and SUZUKI SlipSliders

The SlipSlider is now available for the Seydel 1847 and Suzuki Manji harps:

More brands/models coming soon...

The specially-designed SlipSlider comb to Seydel powerbender/draw is simpler to use but that does not mean that they are simpler to design or assembling?

[Brendan]

A bit simpler in construction/assembly, because no rocker-arm reed dampener is required for PowerBender and PowerDraw tuned SlipSlider harps. Otherwise they are use the same number of parts.

Their combs look a bit different because they have a regular pattern in the tines; Richter and similar harps change orientation at hole seven.

[Lizzy]

Still little annoying that Seydel needs embossing/reed gapping to work properly
