Re: Discrete Comb, why not popular?
Why not use a tremolo- or an octave-comb? There a single reed channels in the Viennese type or double reed channels in the Knittlinger type. Both are divided horizontally. https://www.seydel1847.de/sailor-steel https://www.seydel1847.de/skydivertremolo https://www.seydel1847.de/club-steel https://ww...

Re: INTEGRATED SLIDER-MOUTHPIECE - Tech Tuesday #7
When you will have found the ideal form of this part, you can mill - or let mill - one out of brass or any other suitable metal. Or is there any self-lubricating effect of the plastic which is essential for the function?
dear greetings

Re: The MORBENDZ: As it Says on the Tin
"Regular Breath Tuning" was a name I gave to my first ever alternate tuning back around 1980 ... But now people are using the term with a generic, wider meaning. 'Regular Breath' now refers to any tuning where the breathing pattern is the same throughout the whole harp. In practice, that means the ...

Re: The MORBENDZ: As it Says on the Tin
For regular breath tunings no extra reed is needed, much simpler to make! We have that version coming later. What is meant with "regular breath tuning"? Is that e.g. the "solo tuning" like in a default standard chromatic? And does "much simpler to make" mean, that its price might be substantially l...

Re: INTEGRATED SLIDER-MOUTHPIECE - Tech Tuesday #7
In my opinion, JDR made a mistake with the tuning layout of the Trochilus. Due to the comb design, the two blow/draw pairs in each mouth hole are adjacent to each other, separated by a comb divider opening to a slide hole. Since the slider is pushed from the right and moves right to left, they shou...

Re: "Harmonica levers" - harmonica idea for irish trad players
And some prefer to use the Seydel Nonslider as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NODxyDbg5ZQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEvQN94VJ1c Btw: He is using the Seydel Gecko / Farmer holder in these videos. And here is a more sophisticated tune played on a Nonslider solo without holder: https://www...

Re: Seydel 1847 Slipslider Project
Brendan, this is similar to Seydel "All Minor" harp as far as I understand. This is something I'd consider to switch between Paddy Richter / Richter / Country tuning, if only I 1. played Seydels and not Suzuki with phosphor bronze reeds 2. didn't have nice shiny promaster gold coverplates which I r...

Re: baroque harmonica and power chord harmonica
No wonder that just you appreciate the idea of a Power Chord Harmonica . :mrgreen: This is the slider of my Sampler which I had removed: https://up.picr.de/47499996ie.jpg I think it is pretty much the same design as on the old Hohner 270. And it is fitting exactly to my Sampler from which I had remo...

Re: Slide Diatonic tuning ideas for blues and rock: "Wilde Slide" Tuning
Very interesting ideas indeed. But a little bit too complicated for me to follow at first sight. I must think about this in a quiet hour one more time. :lol: But as far as this: Slide-in One Fourth Up (or Down) I am experimenting with this idea since several years. For it does not hit exactly the su...

baroque harmonica and power chord harmonica
Coming from this I would like to report some old ideas of mine: Slide-in One Fourth Up (or Down) I am experimenting with this idea since several years. Since its arrival in 2016 I play the Seydel Sampler. This is a double-diatonic with a slider to interchange between 2 keys. It is substantially the ...
