วีดีโอ

I want to thank you David for putting out the effort to make these videos, more importantly i want to thank you for your enthusiasm towards the instrument, its motivated me a lot. I have been working my way through your book, (a must have by the way) for the past year or so, trying to better my playing and we are all lucky to have you teaching us! By the way, its called the Higbee notch, that click when you turn a screw (or a fire hose coupling) backwards. Cheers

I've never heard anything like this. Absolutely beautiful.

How would you compare Kongsheng to the Seydel Saxony (sound, feel, playability)? Which one do you prefer? Thanks

Thank for an excellent video, clear instructions and inspiration 🙏

I need slider for my Seydel symphony chromatic 12 hole harmonica and Hohner master klaisse 14 hole harmonica how can I purchase please tell

God damn that sounds good.

Hola ! Me gustaría comprar algunas boquilla (Slider ) para mis armónicas ( Seydel Symphony 64 , Suzuki 48 Bass y Suzuki Trémolo Chromatic 64 ) me pongo en conttacto con usted para que me indique la forma de hacerlo si esto es posible . Muchas gracias ¡¡¡¡

For a standard 10 hole Harmonica I doubt either mic would make a difference in sound pickup. Just not that much area to cover. The preference would be in how the mic breaks up when playing if you're looking for some mean Blues sound. If you don't want distortion then you'd want the mic that picks up the natural sound of the instrument best. It may all come down to Apples vs Oranges.

Hello David Enjoy listening and learning from your videos Would you recommend using an ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning chromatic harmonica ?

Hello, after several years of use, has this harmonica held up? Has it gone out of tune more quickly than a well-known brand harmonica (hohner, suzuki, seydel etc...)?

Can you tell why the cover is partitioned into 3 segments? Does that sound better than a cover without partitions?

fantastic job. Nice and easy explained. ☺

I am in the UK, and have been unable to source any buttons; you have to buy the whole slide. Which seems a shame as losing buttons seems a fairly common occurrence!

I tried to find a place with google to buy that frictionless slider and I can't find it... I also tried to contact you via your website and I get an Java error of some kind.. Any ideas?

Vintage Hohner 270 when you use it the tone trancends old or modern. In your hand that forgotten chorm harp is priceless,

Hello sir would you please tell me how can I do the wireless this mic because I don't know what I need if is possible you tell me the name of connector I thank you.

Amazing

Thank you so much! Easy and effective

Great review, thank you.

Not need a volume knob, just a pedal. Dosen't really matter which type, an EQ, a boost, an overdrive, just stomp when you solo. Much, much cheaper

What does the H-bar do?

Sir if you can make a video on tongue vibroto.

Dave, thanks for more great tips. I'll be busy for quite some time with my collection.

Thank you for the video. I just bought a used Hohner 64 Chromatic and your video sure helped me understand how to disassemble it. It needs a good cleaning so your video helped.

Bellísima interpretación!! Cómo se llama el tema musical?

Hola David !!! Te he conocido a traves mi aficion a la armonica y tambien a la marca Seydel y estoy encantado con tus videos de presentaciones y review , este del estuche me ha encantado, asi te felicito por tan buen trabajo , ¡¡¡ Enhorabuena y sigue asi !!!!

I just did this to my SCX64 and it’s a totally different instrument now and it’s super easy!! I used a piece of glass and large sand paper sheet. Thank you!!!

Can I get a regular 12-hole from C4-D7? Instead of G3-G6?

Love your videos

Hi David, I didn't hear what material you used to make the slider with? Great idea, but sad I cannot get it sent to Australia? Cheers Wylie.

O.K, I love this harmonica for sound, ergonomics, and maintenance. However, the tiny spring keeps braking, I mean every 2-3 months. I got tired of this, and the harmonica is thrown into a drawer together with old discarded harmonicas. Do you have any recommendations?

My goal is to learn Bach Cello Suite 1. I have a music background, would you recommend a 16 hole? I have a 12 hole already. Thank you again for your knowledge!

Tiene válvulas? Without windsavers?

Looks good, but will it blend?

Looks quite brilliant, because (rapid) sliding lubricated with saliva causes me a lot of problems. That was what brought me here. But how can you play double tones or chords in this way? And the slide does not exactly fit on the mouthpiece as I can see, so there must be air leakage. Is that not a problem? You still get good clean tone & notes? Are there other ideas to improve sliding on the chromatic? Thanks, Tryout.

YOU REALLY ARE A MASTER OF HARMONICA!! If only you had created a beginner course online you would've been inundated with clients

Im sorry David, this is not a good idea. Best to take it apart and clean it systematically. It needs to dry out properly, and the valves will not be happy with this method you describe. Best to Google Neil Adlers method (TH-cam). Hohner Repair also has some good videos. But quick and easy isn’t always the best. Good luck!

already do by myself.long time ago.good stuff

Can i do that to easstop forerunner chromatic?

Do you have an online course David? I'm a complete chromatic beginner

Hello Mr Kettlewell. I'm just curious. If someone was to ship their harmonica to you for customization, do you offer that kind of service? If not, do you have any recommendations for someone who does? Also, looking for a 16 hole chromatic harmonica. Preferably one that is airtight and all holes play. (Reason why i asked the first question). Cheers!

I see the 12 hole version uses some sort of magnetic slide system. Do you have any experience with this?

I'm impressed. I’ve gotten to the point where I only disassemble a mouthpiece if I absolutely have to. I've got to look into this model. Thanks.

Wooow that melody of classical music used by the doors ..... The first video i see from you... I will stay!!!!

Excellent. Love how we can "hear" your heartbeat in the mid volume long tone.

thank you!

Can you customize my suzuki chromatic scx 16-hole ? And how much do you charge? Thanks

I keep wanting to encourage chromatic players to watch videos of master harmonica artists of the 30's and later for inspiration. I think that there is a lot of emphasis on "blues" and "jazz" type music but there are many other types of beautiful music including folk, country, spanish, classical, and "popular" music to enjoy playing on your chromatic harmonica.

I just found this guy and his excellent videos. Kudos to David for putting together these videos - Thank You!!!

Dave I love your reviews of the Seydel family of harmonicas. Especially the Saxon and the Symphony. Thank you very Much. Ralph From RAIN a tribute to the Beatles.
