Re: The SlipSlider Mk2 - Special 20 on Steroids!
Never say never. The advantage Seydel has is that their harps can be ordered in alternate tunings, so it would be good to offer a Mk2 SlipSlider in the Session format for that reason. Right now it's a bit busy for RnD, as I have trips to France, China and the USA in the next few weeks, but I'll look...

Re: Custom made reedplates? Standard reed width?
I did try making laser-cut reedplates a few years ago, and tried waterjet also, cutting slots to fit standard Hohner reeds. It turned out to be way too difficult and time-consuming to create harmonicas this way, so I gave up. But if you want to try, Hohner reeds come in two widths - can't remember e...

Re: The SlipSlider Mk2 - Special 20 on Steroids!
Yes - a lot of testing of various brands/models has happened over the past couple of months. I've made a couple of Seydel Sessions, plus Suzuki Harpmasters, Easttop T004 and other similar types into Mk2 SlipSliders. They all work, but the precision of the fit of their covers to the reedplates is inf...

Re: The OVERBLOW BOOSTER - Overblows Made Easy, New OB Effects
Bends and Overbends happen regardless of the reed intervals, so no need to limit them in your definition.

Re: The OVERBLOW BOOSTER - Overblows Made Easy, New OB Effects
@IaNerd: If you understand the principle of interactive-reed bending you'll have the answer to all those queries. Basically the high reed in each hole can bend almost down to the pitch of the low reed, about a quartertone above it. Just apply that and you have a universal solution to all the questio...

@ rlb: Yes, valves and overbends are incompatible, it's one or the other.
I've just designed a version for PowerBender/PowerDraw tnings. It's just one part on the blow reedplate, will get back to you after testing.

See You at SPAH
I'm coming to SPAH in St. Louis. I've registered as a Vendor there and will be bringing a wide selection of my stuff, some as single samples to try and some to buy (eg. the Overblow Booster), plus new harmonica models to be announced soon.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Re: The SlipSlider - a Revolutionary Blues Harp.
Sorry for delays in the various harps or variants mentioned above, but I'm snowed under with missions at present, mostly to do with production issues for the SlipSlider and Overblow Booster, plus other general life stuff. Not getting much design/testing time. All will come eventually.
