Re: Anyone Playing the Turboslide?
I hadn't seen the video, thanks Gary. One good feature of the Turboslide you didn't mention that is relevant to Major Cross is that it allows extra draw note bending. Major Cross is a good logical tuning, but it has some semitone intervals between blow and draw notes that eliminate the possibility o...

Re: New Models from the Big Manufacturers
Nice one Tony, well done on getting your Major Cross done with Seydel. They are such a player-friendly company, the best of all of the manufacturers in working with players to give us options, by far.

OVERBLOWING - Where to From Here?
THE PROBLEM, AND SOME SOLUTIONS As someone who started playing on the 10 hole diatonic, I share a love for the sound of this little harmonica with the majority of harp players on the planet.

Re: Asia bend, Auto Valve comb and the Lucky 13!!
Thanks for joining us Burke, I always enjoy reading your thoughts in emails and other forums. I will emphasise to Easttop again the importance of maintaining standards with tuning. Bit it's good that more and more players, not just harp techs like you, have the skills now to fine tune and gap their ...
