Re: Shifted Paddy Richter D/G
Since CX-12s come in different keys but similar reed lengths, you could ideally make a Paddy Richter CX-12 slide harp by swapping reeds from lower and higher keys to get the reeds you need with little tuning required. For G you could source reeds for the low octave from lower keys down to Tenor C, a...

Re: A cupping back for easier chromatic cupping
Agreed - seems like the Cupping Back is a good add-on, esp. with your rear-button chrom.

Re: OVERBLOWING - Where to From Here?
Thanks for the ideas, David and Felix. David: That would be great in theory, but I don't think a simple check valve could work to do what you propose. Since it would be activated to close by the blow breath, how could it distinguish between a normal blow and an overblow? Felix: Both the overdrive or...

Re: Irish Session Diatonic Reed Plates
Hi Paul, Hering are under new management but one thing hasn't changed: their poor communication. Emails go unreplied as often as not. It's the main reason I stopped dealing with them. For your plates, I suggest teaching yourself how to replace reeds. It will give you much more control over playing t...

Re: Blues Harp Mouthpiece and Mini PitchBender for the DM48
I've really been getting into Thor on iPad with the DM48 this past week. Bernzilla's patch set is good: http://www.berniekenerson.com/sound_design/ As you say Lizzie, its so user friendly. Nearly ready to take it on a gig, quite a threshold to cross! The Mini PitchBender are nearly ready to ship, ju...

Re: Rampless Chromatic Comb
Hi David, I saw on Harp-L you have an update to your excellent chrom, but the link didn't work. Always interested to see your new stuff, so please keep us informed here
Your machined comb looks beautiful BTW.

Re: Power Chromatic
Actually PowerBender is the same as PowerChromatic for some of its range. On a 10-hole harp, the scale from hole 4 to hole 8 is PowerChromatic. So some of the stuff from my PowerBender book/CD will transfer over. I'm just awaiting a Seydel in PC to use to make an explanatory video on the tuning. It ...

Re: Midi harmonica dm48
I've been getting into the Thor app on iPad. Bernzilla (Bernie Kenerson) has a good patch set for it, as does Patchman. Links: http://www.berniekenerson.com http://www.patchmanmusic.com I'm finding I need to constantly change Sensitivity settings on the DM48 for different patches. Also for these pat...

Re: Shifted Paddy Richter D/G
Good to hear that quirky CX-10 is still going and giving you pleasure Jack If you have any videos or recordings playing it, I'd love to hear examples of what you describe.
