Re: The SlipSlider Mk2 - Special 20 on Steroids!
You can make the magnetic force stronger quite easily. Romove the upper coverplate and lower reedplate/coverplate combination. Use a small screw-driver or similar and push the comb magnets down to the draw side. The closer they are to being flush to the comb the stronger the force will be. I still r...

Re: Installing powercomb on 260
Actually you can avoid using a tap if you want to. Make sure you have a drill bit of a genuine 1.4mm size. If so, the supplied steel screws will self-tap into the reedplate. I should have put this in the video but, since drill bits are often under their nominated size, thought it best to advise usin...

Re: Buffers for 260
You can cut them from the ink tubes of ballpoint pens. They come in different sizes, so find one that suits the 260 comb indent.

Re: New PowerBender and PowerDraw Harps
Hi Triona, AFAIK Easttop are sticking with welded reeds for the bulk of their models - the popular T008K diatonic is an exception. My new PowerBender/PowerDraw use T008K reedplates combined with the open-back covers from their Blues Player model, but with a single central cover screw. Riveted attach...

This weekend at the APHF in Beijing and then SPAH in St. Louis I'm launching two new Lucky 13 models in tunings designed for melody and improvisation. The extended length of the Lucky 13 lends itself well to harmonica tunings that repeat every f...

Re: The SlipSlider Mk2 - Special 20 Gets the Bends
Since these harps have never been made before, interesting new effects/abilities from the sliding reedplates keep coming to light. Roverharp (who made the first prototype Special 20 version) thought of one: If you move the draw plate only half-way in either direction, the draw reeds are stopped by t...
