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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

First question about what confused me: Are you a left-hander or is your video mirrored? And here my contentual thoughts: I do not think that you can omit the spacer between the draw-reedplate and the bottom slider. The draw reeds do not only stick out of the surface of the reedplate. They even need ...

BTW: Is this part called "slide" or "slider" in correct English? I have seen both of them.
