Re: Minor tuning adjustment to Power Chromatic Lucky 13

That natural minor tuning looks nice, it's good to have repeated notes with one on the draw and one on the blow. On my side, after playing around for a while, I switched back to regular G PowerChromatic tuning (without flattening the F#). PC seems more versatile when changing keys and overall still ...

Re: Minor tuning adjustment to Power Chromatic Lucky 13

Just a little update. My Lucky 13 arrived (Power Chrom in G), but unfortunately wasn't in a very good state. Perhaps because its box was rattling around un-padded inside a larger box, or maybe a QC issue. It had a few buzzing reeds, rattling valves and some minor tuning issues, so it took a bit of w...

Re: Minor tuning adjustment to Power Chromatic Lucky 13

Thanks for your response. It's cool to see I'm not the only one who likes the idea of having more minor scale options in Power Chromatic. You're right about terminology. I didn't mean melodic, I meant Natural Minor, which is much simpler to tune. So just to confirm, for A nm, it'd simply be A-B-C-D-...

Minor tuning adjustment to Power Chromatic Lucky 13

Hi all, I'd be curious to know what some more experienced players than me (probably everyone here), think of a minor tuning change to the Power Chromatic Lucky 13: Flattening the fourth draw reed by a semitone. I'm learning harmonica while coming from primarily a piano background, so alternate tunin...
