I own a G and have a C on the way. I'm gonna play some Blues in the key of G 1st and 2nd position. Personally I don't think it sounds quite as good as my decent regular diatonics...but it is still pretty good IMHO. I am excited about these harps

Love that a US based company is making this type harp now. I wanna grab one and see how close I can come to playing Stevie wonders for once in my life solo. I think this harp is gonna be a staple in most guys cases eventually Rockin ton is my go to ship to get harps. 3 days max from the west coast to me in Cincinnati and no shipping cost. Can’t beat that

In Forerunner,valves have been dispensed away by sub dividing the reed chamber.Thus blow reed and the draw reed are in separate reed chambers unlike the valved chromatic in which the blow reed and the draw reed is in the same reed chamber.

@winslowyerxa8505 17 күн бұрын

Separate chambers by themselves do not compensate for lack of valves. I have owned chromatics with those chamber separations that were still unacceptably leaky. Consider that air from the blow chamber will still leak in when playing the draw note and will leak out during a blow note via the draw reed, as both chambers still share the same moving air stream. The Forerunner achieves its airtightness through overall tighter design, not just separate chambers.

What are your thoughts on the C6 tuned Trochilus? I just ordered my third; the last a B flat in Pop. I really enjoy your videos.

@kungfumachinist 19 күн бұрын

This video came up while my Seydel Non-slider was disassembled to service the valves. Wait, I thought you said they didn't have valves! Ha, it's a custom "configurator" harp. It's diminished-tuned and half-valved. Seydel recommended the half-valving, valves to cover the draw reeds only, of course. All the valves are on the inside of the chambers and somehow that means they don't have as much of a sticking problem. So I have a strong draw bend, 1/2 step, and a slight blow bend available, usually just to add color, not get to a different note. I do think it's harder to play cleanly given the extra movement involved, but overall I love it. Great sound on all reeds, minimal maintenance required. Great video, thanks for the breakdown.

@winslowyerxa8505 19 күн бұрын

The stock NonSlider, like the standard C I played in the video, is unvalved, and it's one of the main claims for the instrument. That said, I've heard from others that the low tunings do come half-valved, and, evidently, also your custom configured one.

Thank you for sharing this! It is the most beautiful song I have ever heard with a harmonica! I am working on playing it with my G diatonic and I am hopeful with 6 months practice I can semi-master it. (Any overblows hiding in it?) Also, any chance of obtaining the backing to your 3rd position jazz, C harp in D minor excercise from your great book? I practice the amazing tune frequently but it would sound much better with your backing track! Thanks!

@winslowyerxa8505 22 күн бұрын

Thanks, glad you like it. There are no overblows in the recording, as it was played on chromatic harmonica. To play the first verse melody on a G diatonic, you would need a 5 overblow to play the third note in the B part. The second verse is very chromatic, though. Which book are you referring to?

@spinnerone105 21 күн бұрын

Thank you for your insight! Since I can’t overblow, the best I will be aiming for is semi mastery. Will send a recording to you sometime in the future. The song I have enjoyed playing is from your “Harmonica for Dummies”. It goes along these notes…4d6b5b..5b6b6d..6b5b4b4d…4b3d2d. Thanks!

@@norfolknwhey4787 That other fella is probably me. Generally they overblow and overdraw decently out of the box, more so than diatonic harps I've bought. As an example, 10 overdraw out of the box on 5 of 6 that I bought. The 6th one was the D, and that 10 overdraw is really too high anyway.

Got one love it one thing the slide sticks when I first pick it up get it a bit wet and it's fine .Didn't want use oil on it I see the slide is on the plastic comb I think it grips it when dry they play great. love you can do trills, great if you can't O/B, the holes take a bit of getting used to if your a diatonic player.

@winslowyerxa8505 Ай бұрын

It will get sticky if you breathe sticky residues into from food, drink, or even your own body secretions. They will dry and harden, making the slide stick. Moistening it before you start playing helps, but so can playing after rinsing your mouth and, occasionally, removing the mouthpiece and slide and cleaning them.

Love it. Kind of wish the slide would give us the 6th in the lower octave because it is used so often in celtic tunes, but that is me nitpicking while constantly on the search for the best harp for celtic music .This gamechanger/trochilus is a great harp and very diverse. Very affordable for what you get, too. It has made me want to try other JDR harps, too.

@stuffnuns Ай бұрын

The new GM, unfortunately, has reeds that are different in tone from the original. The reeds are easily bent, as on the original, but the tone of the new reeds is thinner, and I find them a bit harsh. As for the original GM, the Blue Moon Acrylic and Corian solid combs are truly air tight, with beautifully beveled holes. They make big difference for me. I makes the Gold Melody a pleasure to play, especially if you are a tongue player. …um, what is that you’re doing to make a trill? How can you cup when you’re warbling that way?

@stuffnuns Ай бұрын

This doesn’t make sense to me. It’s a chromatic with Richter/Paddy tuning. At least the TurboHarp actually BENDS the reeds Flat when ya press the plunger.

@winslowyerxa8505 Ай бұрын

The Gamechanger actually bends in all the ways you'd expect - you can hear me doing it in the video. And then I alternate the bent version of the note with the slide-in version for a contrast in tone color and note attack. All the slide does in raise everything a half-step. Slide richter has been around for 125 years

@@norfolknwhey4787 If you can cup a chromatic to a mic, you can definitely cup this one. It's only slightly bigger than a diatonic, and, at the back where you'd cup it, it's exactly the same length give or take a millimeter or two. And it will play OB/ODs as well as slide moves.

First, just try playing it like a regular diatonic with the slide left out, and then with the slide held in. Then, start to add notes from the other side of the slide to provide missing notes. There's plenty more, but that's a way to start.

Hey Winslow, love the content. How is it with tongue blocking, and have you tried it with a bullet mic? I’m curious if a good mic seal can be obtained with hits unique shape.

@winslowyerxa8505 2 ай бұрын

Works fine with tongue blocking. I haven't tried it cupped to a mic, though. The shape is wider on the front (where the holes are) and narrower at the back, where it's the same width as a diatonic. Just tried cupping it with an SM-58 to see how it fits and, with my small hands, it cups OK.
