"Wide v-Chord" re-tuning of Richter
In my first few posts here https://www.brendan-power.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=212#p1119 I considered some tunings that included lowering standard Richter's 7 draw note by two semitones -- making it equal to the 6 draw's pitch. Well over a year ago I got this far on what was going to be a more e...

Re: A parsimonious blues tuning for the Seydel Big Six
I should probably mention that this tuning was inspired by my own re-tuning of the Hohner PentaHarp . That re-tuning is shown here: https://www.brendan-power.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=858#p3792 It is different only by the six blow note. I should also note that the tuning shown above is in the lo...

Re: How to get Extra, Deeper Bends on Harmonica
Brendan, you recently posted a YouTube video in which you explain and demonstrate various alternate positions for the Hohner PentaHarp. Here again we can see even more possibilities if we were to play those positions with HFS technology. Pretty cool!

Re: How to get Extra, Deeper Bends on Harmonica
Brendan, the adaptation of DLT that you show in the box above is Inverted Bebop (mentioned four entries above this one). The two tunings differ only by that one note.

In PowerChromatic, four draw notes can bend only one semitone. In HFS PowerChromatic, four draw notes can bend either one or ...

Re: Modular Reed mini shruti box?
Of course, a stud like Pat Missin can play drone tunes on a standard harp: https://www.patmissin.com/uncommon/uncommon12.html
