Neil ,Very good comparisons , Thank You ,Question for You is steel reeds sound significant in a Chromatic .My ears did not notice any . All the Best

Nice! Very helpful 👌

you solved the bumper mystery

Excellent! To my ear - the Suzuki's seemed to be a better-balanced sound (not sure if I'm expressing myself correctly) and smoother. I'm probably biased; at my current standard, I love my Chromatix - but everyday playing is on my valveless Easttops!

Superb music playing. And greatblbeffort with the pro video making. Kudos from Asia.

A big help for us. Thanks Neil !

Super pianonl playing, tnx ! You are known among online fora. And a generous teacher. And i wonder why only few know this yt channel.

What is better between "super 64 x performance" and "sirius 16 hole"

Ok Wow!

I took my Chromica 270 apart to clean the slide, and now one of the screws does not torgue down, it just spins, would new bumper fix this, or do I have to get it worked on? If it can be fixed.

Beautiful

By any chance Whats relation Sir larry With you sir?

Thanks for your helpful advice. I haven't played for years but I'm trying to relearn the bit I knew and improve a lot!

This is nicely played. You did the Monty version justice. Do you have the sheet music at all for this, or chords? Peace bro

Thank you. Your method simplifies assembly!

Thanks❤

Great😅

Because my fingers don't work all that well, I've taken to removing the (SCX) reed plates & soaking them over night in a plastic bag with just enough Windex to cover the plates. This works pretty well and cleans up a lot of dirt, without having to manipulate the valves. A gentle rinse in water to get the remnants of Windex off, & it's done. So far no problems, but the Suzuki valves are stuck on very well. On my Seydel, the valves are poorly attached (wrong kind of glue, sez me), so I'd think twice about doing this.

Finally! Thank you!

Nice. I'm contemplating getting the low C

Thanks Neil! My GF gave me a Seydel Saxony for my b-day and I love it. I really appreciate your expertise.

Great video, Neil! Best regards from Brazil. 😉🎵🎶🎼

Great video Neil. I have a question for you: which chromatic harmonica do you recommend me? I have a super chromonica and I didn't play it so much because of my fear of getting a reed sticky and not being able to work in it due to the nails of the reed plates. Now I want to learn in a much more professional and deeper way than just playing some harp tabs. I want something that lasts long, without being extremely expensive (maybe I'm asking to much hahaha). I hope you can help me. And I also extend the question to everyone. Have a nice day 😊

Thanks for the test Neil, you know Adler + Chromatic harmonica is a powerful combination!

Greatly appreciate the video. I’m very new to the (chromatic) harmonica and that paper trick was exactly what I needed tonight! Thank you!

Do you recommend any lubrication?

Really interesting comparision, thank you!

Great video! Thank you! I've got a Saxony on the way. Custom G diminished with acrylic red comb halfmoon mouthpiece. I presently play a CX12 G diminished.

3:20 4:20

Which harmonica is that? Awesome tune

Is the Sirius a worthy upgrade to the SCX?

Outstanding teaching! Thank you!

One of my favorite Monty versions also, but composed by Richard Evans, not Monty!

thanks

I would like to play like you Gary skiller.

OOh that intro helped me determine that vocal part better! That orchestral arrangement is pretty open and free and it was hard to get that part. THANK YOU!

Beautiful Neil!

Da li ta harmonika ima trske od nerdjajuceg celika.

Bravo Neil !

Audio is so poor unable to understand. Ab how, thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Thanks for all your tips. You really helped me. In the meantime, I figured out how to unclog the reed that didnt't work. It was easy in fact. I had had my eye on the reed on the top plate as the culprit. Instead it was a reed on the bottom plate. All's well that ends well. I like the Seydel Symphony 48. Really nice sound. I will send it in to Seydel to have the highest note converted to a G. One sticky problem. Like with most sliders, this one too sticks after playing. It's easy to unstick the slider by running the mouthpiece under warm water briefly. Sometimes, if I catch it on time, I just remove the slide. Any other tips?

Great playing🤩

Could you please list the demonstrated harmonicas?

Are you related to LARRY!!Love your toots pic btw

Excellent instruction! Thank you. This should help me with my problem.
