Re: NEW: Seydel All Minor

The only inconvenience I expect from these slides in comparison to a standard harmonica is, that they might disturb my lips's movement along the coverplates when playing fast and with full chords. With this I put the harp relatively deep into my mouth. So the slide knobs possibly might cause a fric...

Re: Introducing the GASKET-VALVE System

The chromatic Gasket-Valve will require all the existing valves to be pulled off and their glue patches thoroughly removed - which is a job most chrom players will not wish to do ... That might be true. But I have 2 very fine 280 "Larry Adler", about 50 years old I presume. On them I blow away one ...

Re: Introducing the GASKET-VALVE System

Hi Brendan, looks very fine and seems quite easy ti fit, compared to standard valves. In your video you told about valve sets for chromatics. But I can not find them on your web site. The most urgent I would need are for Hohner 280. But perspectively I am interested also for my Hohner CX-12, Hohner ...

Re: NEW: Seydel All Minor

Oh yes. We will see. And I must wait some little time more too before I can put an order myself. At the moment my money is down. :(
Some governmental authorized gangsters hacked my bank account. :twisted:

Re: High D diatonic chrom?

(last part) Talking about Slide Diatonics, there is the Seydel Sampler as well. It is a “double diatonic”, comparable to Brendan’s discontinued “Irish Session Harp” (ISH). On both of them the slider switches between two reedplates containing each a full range solo tuned diatonic key over 3 full oct...

Re: High D diatonic chrom?

... how Brendan in New Irish Harmonica made a diatonic chromatic in high D. If he turned a standard into that then I will try that. If you mean a "slide diatonic" with this, he might have used this instrument out of his former production: https://up.picr.de/33960915dv.jpg http://brendan-power.com/h...

Re: High D diatonic chrom?

Given that the highest (and standard) key is C, ... no chromatics in production higher than C. The Hohner CX-12 is available in F, E, Eb, D, C, B, Bb, A, G, LC (from high to low). I.e. 5 keys above C, including D as the usual labeling is suggesting. Yours is apparently different. I shall find out, ...

I do have a CX 12 in D.

It is low (a step above the tenor C chromatic).

Is your CX-12 an original Hohner?
Or is it one of Brendan's discontinued customized CX-12?
That might make a difference maybe.

Re: High D diatonic chrom?

I have written a long post to answer and discuss this. But the system does not accept its upload. It shows constantly an "error 403" instead. Sorry. edit: Problem solved now. Seems to be a limit to the length of posts. Now I have cut the post in three parts following downside. dear greetings triona

Re: NEW: Seydel All Minor

But did you consider, that if you change bottom to top and vice versa, you will change right and left as well? And that the length of the reeds get shorter from left to right? The incessions in the coverplates seem to have different length, fitting to the length of the respective reed, not to talk a...
