Re: Lucky13 optimized for overblows and underdraws
Certainly Thomas, the Lucky 13 can be customized for overbending like any other harmonica. I recommend learning how to do it yourself, as it will give you control of the process so you can adjust the tiny details to suit your playing.

Re: NEW HARPS: Lucky 13 in Solo and PowerChromatic Tunings
The D PowerChromatic starts on D3, it's lower then the G.
Only D and G keys available in PC at present. But you can easily play in the key of C on both of them using draw bends.

Re: Pentatonic tunings
Out of interest: If you want all chromatic notes without bends, why not play a chromatic harmonica?

Re: beginner harp for irish/folk
If it's a G it will be the low reeds, they are very heavy and will vibrate when you move the harp.

Re: Books PLAY IRISH MUSIC ON THE CHROMATIC HARMONICA
Sorry for the slow reply Triona!
The books are identical except for the keys of the harmonicas. I recommend the G/D book because those keys are the correct ones for playing with other Irish musicians, but for C-only chrom players the C book is best.

Re: The SlipSlider Mk2 - Special 20 on Steroids!
You can make the magnetic force stronger quite easily. Romove the upper coverplate and lower reedplate/coverplate combination. Use a small screw-driver or similar and push the comb magnets down to the draw side. The closer they are to being flush to the comb the stronger the force will be. I still r...

Re: Installing powercomb on 260
Actually you can avoid using a tap if you want to. Make sure you have a drill bit of a genuine 1.4mm size. If so, the supplied steel screws will self-tap into the reedplate. I should have put this in the video but, since drill bits are often under their nominated size, thought it best to advise usin...

Re: Buffers for 260
You can cut them from the ink tubes of ballpoint pens. They come in different sizes, so find one that suits the 260 comb indent.
