Oo, top of the jokers set - or ass card drawn, by other words. I don't envy you. The usual way is to drill out the screw - with a diameter not exceeding the core diameter of the screw. Then tetap the thread. I have done this many many times - with diameters of M 4, M5, M6, ... up to M16 or so. But I...

I tried to compare the tunig / layout of the Lucky 13 to the Seydel Solist Pro 12 in low octave. Here is what I found out up till now: http://thumbs.picr.de/29010557ft.jpg (click icon for larger display) yellow: core octave (i.e. the only full octave) blue: low chords Standard Richter green: extra l...

Wow! Thanks for the info. It looks like maybe trying to find the Gm Dm Am version would make a nice complement to the one I have. Still interested in anyone's chord suggestions. At it's simplest, I suppose the question is this: If you have C, F, G and C7, G7, D7, what next 6 chords would you most l...

I think keeping the harp warm should help quite much. If you put it into your heating box when leaving the house, it should be prepared enough for playing and proper function of the valves, until you have reached your hill. But you should watch, that the temperatur in the heating box does not exceed...

Just try and remove them. In the case that you are not satisfied with the resukt, you can replace them again. Seydel offers sets of valves as a sparepart. You can even chose the improved ones, they have since new. http://www.seydel1847.de/epages/Seydel1847.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Seydel/Categori...

... the more you speak the less you learn :lol: ... You see people around getting professionnal, but perhaps yourself you are not pretty sure you can be more useful to do the same... I can tell you, this is right. Seems to be the same with me too. :roll: C'est la vie. :lol: Btw: Do you know Christe...

Here is a data sheet of a Vineta tuned in F – C – G (click icon for full size display of the pdf): http://thumbs.picr.de/28974968zc.jpg http://up.picr.de/28974970uv.jpg http://up.picr.de/28974969cb.jpg I have them in these tunings, always paired with correspondent 7th chords on the lover row (= draw...

I've made a couple of experimental harmonicas using low reed blocks from accordions, and they sound sweet. Getting blocks in the right note combinations to make a harmonica scale is a bit trickier, and they can be quite expensive. Thanks for the reminder - I've been meaning to revisit that idea in ...

Could these effects be the reason for the conical design of the reed slots by yonberg too? http://en.yonberg-harmonica.com/content/8-technology And here another question for better understanding: Helmholtz Resonance Coupling is the phenomenon where the resonant frequency of the combined chamber of m...

... (spiked fuddle) ...

What is this?
Or is it only a typo, that should mean "spiked fiddle"?
And anyway, what would be this then?
