Re: TuneMaster harmonica

Looks quite interesting. https://www.turboharp.com/tunemaster-harp But it is "out of stock". Did you already see any of these, or even had one in your hands for a test? Even as it was not released on April 1st, it looks to me a little bit like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stobfk1Mfjk :mrgre...

Re: First position natural minor custom tuning.

Lee Oskar labelling can be confusing. That is really true in fact. Once I stumbled over this when trying to replace a worn Tombo by a Seydel. There was some fuzz until I got the right one. Same label, but diferent sound. :roll: Eventually I gave the broken one to Seydel to copy the tuning. After al...

Re: Double harmonic custom tuning.

Thanks for sharing.
Looks very interesting and worth a try.
Quite easy to retune, just the B down to Bb and the F# down to F, at least 5 reeds altogether.
I like mideastern music and flamenco etc.

Re: Shifting a tuning to fit a certain range (i.e. that of a fiddle)

... slideless chromatics ... a distinctly different solution though. Of course, but it is certainly one that is already existing. It is ready to use. And there is no need of inventing new tunings, retuning instruments or building new ones first. Just get one and play. Btw: I think the well known an...

Re: Notation Software with Harmonica Plugins - Recommendations wanted

Ok, there are dozens of spellings at least, especially considering bending, overblows, etc. And if there is the standard sheet notation above, there is no misunderstanding at all.

Re: Notation Software with Harmonica Plugins - Recommendations wanted

Thanks for sharing the tab.
Did I get it allright, you marked the blows with a plus and left the draws unmarked?

Re: Shifting a tuning to fit a certain range (i.e. that of a fiddle)

Tusen tack för länkarna. Jag älsker så mycket de gamla spelmans låtar. :D Maybe you should try the TOMBO 1577. It is also called "Violin Scale - Band Chromatic". Here is the layout: https://up.picr.de/35113296xs.jpg It is a slideless chromatic in the keys of C and C#. The range is from G3 to C#7. Th...

Re: Pentatonic tunings

Then get along with the Fourkey, at least for the next time. If the example of your 2 recordings are representative for your playing, it proves that you sound better on the Fourkey, at least to my ears. Do not listen to what other people say and what they prefer. Play that tuning which is fitting be...

Re: Pentatonic tunings

Now I have found the second video too - this one with the Eb-fourkey and the C-Pentabender in comparison. Maybe I did some wrong clicks yesterday :oops:, or there was any temporary malfunction in the line. To my opinion the first try with the Eb-Fourkey sounded more fluently to my ears. On the secon...
