				Just found this forum. I posted this on Slidemeister.  Would it be possible to tune a Richter Koch harp to a Powerbender?  That way I can have a slide harp with the same tuning as my diatonic's.

				Yes, this is something I've done myself a few times. For the tip two holes I recommend swapping blow and draw reeds, otherwise tune with solder.
Another option is to make a PowerBender mini-chromatic using two PB diatonics in my SwitchHarp. You'll need to do some tuning compensation in the high end, but not difficult. Video on the SwitchHarp page:
