Brendan Power & Alternative Harmonicas Forum

All the tremolos I know have these horizontal dividers - and all octave harps I know as well. I guess Eric explained the reasons for this very well. And this has already been like this long before the chromatic harps even had been invented.

... there is no perfect harmonica tuning! Either you choose just one and live with it, good and bad, for the sake of simplicity - or you keep a few tunings handy to suit particular styles/pieces. ... I know which side of the fence I'm on, but also that it's a minority choice: the vast majority will...

Usually most of these asian layouts make some sense. To say more about it, it is necessary to know whether it is a blow only (most probably) or a blow and draw. The last note of the upper reed plate is not readable clearly. Most probably it means "A#/Bb" - that would make more sense), but it could m...

I wish merry holidays to everyone.

If I had realized this earlier, I could have written my reply a little bit shorter. :lol: And it has neither been invented by me nor by Edvin. It is the nick of a user here: https://thesession.org/tunes/139#setting26435 Btw: This is a very nice site anyway. It contains lots and lots of fine tunes an...

Maybe I did not catch the question all right. :oops: But it was not meant as a joke at all. It was an answer to this part of the question, as far as I had understood it: How can I bring notation into a digitally reproducable form the easiest, fastest and cheapest way? As I learned by your diligent a...

... I have some nice PDFs, but I'm not sure how to upload them in a convenient way for you to see. It can easily be done like any odd picture: 1. Make an upload to a picture host that allows PDF as a format. (e.g. picr.de) 2. Link the code here. Sample: https://thumbs.picr.de/34575618wd.jpg click t...

This one looks fine. Thank you. I think I will try it soon. Option 1 is to prefer in my eyes. Just the rising of 9d from F to B and 10d from A to D# is a harsh step of 7 halftones. It is to hope that this will not weaken the reeds over their capability. Option 2 covers all notes of each chord too, b...

Hi R!Bo (is that your name?), as far as I know Hohner is not producing this tuning any more. (I bought it about the year of 1982 or so. And they told me then that were a prototype or a special edition or anything alike.) But you can order it by the Seydel configurator if you do not want to retune so...
