Re: The SlipSlider - a Revolutionary Blues Harp.
Interesting checking out your grip solutions, E6000 glue and finishing washers. I've ordered some to check out. While researching grip tapes I also discovered the strange world of fingerboarding, that I never knew existed... They have some interesting looking finger grip tapes, either with grit or n...

Re: The SlipSlider - a Revolutionary Blues Harp.
@ Crawforde: On bidirectional SlipSliders for regular-breath tuned harps: I made a test Easttop PowerBender SlipSlider with uniform comb tines and the ability for a right and left shift of the drawplate. The right shift is short (3.75mm) but the left shift is long (7.5mm), allowing the draw reeds to...

Re: The SlipSlider - a Revolutionary Blues Harp.
I've made a few Seydel SlipSliders now and they play much the same as stock Seydel 1847 harps out of the box. If you like the standard 1847 without embossing, then the SlipSlider version will be similar. Seydel harps have a big following and some good points that make them attractive in the SlipSlid...

Re: The SlipSlider - a Revolutionary Blues Harp.
A bit simpler in construction/assembly, because no rocker-arm reed dampener is required for PowerBender and PowerDraw tuned SlipSlider harps. Otherwise they are use the same number of parts. Their combs look a bit different because they have a regular pattern in the tines; Richter and similar harps ...

Re: The SlipSlider - a Revolutionary Blues Harp.
Bit of a delay with releasing the other brand SlipSliders, had a gig in London that took quite a bit of time in rehearsals and travel etc. Note to self: don't make promises on release dates, life tends to get in the way. But we'll get there in time...

Re: The SlipSlider - a Revolutionary Blues Harp.

It plus pics of the ...
