Re: Health concerns regarding materials in harmonicas?
I know there there is materials that have health issues when they are processed but are harmless as a finished product. Glue ex. some superglues are dangerous to inhale but well dryed become crystallized and harmless. I have worked in color industries some years ago where they make UV colors. The UV...

Re: Valves
It would be worth much if some valve material was found that could last a little longer without sticking or making noise. I guess that ultrasuede only works good as halfvalved. Early this year i thought i could get rid of valves when i tried slipslider, but valves became actualized again when i boug...

Brendan..... I read a while back that you was trying a new valve material. Was it good or not to your satisfaction?

Re: Tuning chromatic
Thanks for all tips :D I have used that battery engraver for a long time now, small, very handy and easy to operate. I use powerchromatic so i only use valves on one side which make it easier. Only need to find a longer and better reed lifter or simply use the battery engraver without any support. T...

Re: Tuning chromatic
Crawford....this was also my approach but was curious if there was anyone else who had a different method. Have tuned diatonic several years but are new to chromatic. A chromatic also have 2 reeds in each chamber and valves which differs from standard diatonic.

Tuning chromatic
Do you tune your chromatic with the reedplates screwed on or do you just hold the reedplate with your fingers on the comb? The option to plink the reed to settle after a slight tuning is not avaiable if the reedplate is screwed. Another question...If no one else have Seydel deluxe steel maybe Brenda...

Re: NEW HARPS: Lucky 13 in Solo and PowerChromatic Tunings

Re: NEW HARPS: Lucky 13 in Solo and PowerChromatic Tunings
Yes Sachlaw, i have Soloist pro 12 in C. I have often C as a orientation point because of my weak theory mind...lol And i now also frequently compare it with my powerbender tuning and tranfer my solos and scales to powerchromatic. However, i have not looked at Lucky 13 yet to compare it with Soloist...
