Re: DIMINISHED-SIXTH TUNING on the Modular-Reed Harmonica
Also I created a diminished sixth tuning for my DM48. It's nice but I think I'd rather have it in a Modular Switch Harp so that I'd have the option of bending to get some notes. Also I already blew out a reed (Bb4) on my Modular Harp and didn't have a replacement, so I've ordered a replacement as we...

Re: DIMINISHED-SIXTH TUNING on the Modular-Reed Harmonica
Sorry I was wrong about every draw note bending. Only two out of 4 per octave bend fully. The others are just quarter tone bends.

Re: The new, updated DM48X is here!
If they will really retrofit the previous DM48 with a ribbon bender I think I'd take them up on that. As I understand it, the only other advantage of the DM48X is that it will connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to an iPhone or iPad, but I'm strictly a Windows/Android guy and would have to buy a used i...

Re: Introduce yourself
Jazmaan here. I play altered tunings, Switch Harps, DM-48, etc. Here's an example of me playing a retuned XB-40. clyp.it/1b4oeplx

Re: Pentatonic tunings
What an excellent summary of pentatonic tunings! Roger has explained it all. Looking forward to hearing the tunings demonstrated at SPAH 2018 tomorrow!

Re: NEW HARPS: Lucky 13 in Solo and PowerChromatic Tunings
I hope you're planning to offer a Lucky 13 Solo in the key of C#. And a Slide-Harp that will fit a C and C# together.
Same idea would be nice to try with two PowerChromatic Lucky 13s half-step apart paired in a Switch Harp.

Re: The MiniChrom / SwitchHarp is Released
You're rignt Brendan - its the flat 5 (relative to 1 blow) that's only available as either a deep draw bend on hole 2 slide in, or a "in-between" draw bend on hole 2 slide out.

Re: The MiniChrom / SwitchHarp is Released
Ok, a week or two later and I'm no longer complaining about "lip friction"! It just took me a little longer than anticipated to adjust but now I'm fine with the movable mouthpiece. In fact I've even found a comfortable one handed grip for this beast that still allows me full slide motion. Any other ...

Re: The MiniChrom / SwitchHarp is Released
My first Switch Harp demo - "Blues in Hoss Flat" played on two Melody Maker harps - one in Ab, the other in A.
