Modification to the OB Booster Mk1 for regular breath tunings

Anything apart from the two mainstream default harmonicas (Solo-tuned fully-valved chromatic, and un-valved Richter 10-hole diatonic). Alternate tunings, different construction, new functionality, interesting old designs, wishful-thinking... whatever!

Modification to the OB Booster Mk1 for regular breath tunings

Post by dominico »

I made a version of Brendan's OB Booster Mk1 for tunings where the draw reed is always higher than the blow reed.

I changed the style of the bar since it only ever has to block the blow reeds, which are individually isolated by an insert that goes between the blow reedplate and the coverplate. Since I only have the blow blow reeds it allowed me more freedom with the bar design.

Essentially its a rocker bar in front with a magnetic "spring" that opens it back up when you are not pressing the bar. Video demonstration above.
