Great job playing.

Thanks for listening. I enjoy your uploads as well!

Burnin', burnin' and mo' burning! Another killer bucket list tune! You're getting more sprightly on that harp. Looks like you're using the same harp as Stevie with Chick [Google: Stevie Wonder Sits in with Chick Corea, Aug. 2014 (Catalina Jazz Club, LA) ]

What brand of harmonica is that?

[@MattWatsonHarmonica]

Hohner Black CX12 Key of G tuned to diminished.

@@MattWatsonHarmonica Thanks! I use Hohner chromonica 270 and always have problems and buy a new one every year. I can't afford anything more expensive. I'll look this one up.

@@loisdgilbert8639 I really like the CX12. I have 5 of them. However, I've recently purchased the Seydel Saxony. It's by far the best chromatic I've every used. See my latests posts. I'll be uploading more videos soon. It's built the way the 270 should be. If you're used to the 270 and you like it, this might be a better choice. I started on the 270 and played it for decades before switching to the CX12. Now when I play the Saxony I feel like I'm home. It's a bit more expensive than the CX12 but well worth it. I've yet to take it apart because I don't need to. I practice on average 2 hours a day and I've been gigging with it so it's been through its paces. It's also straight tuned like the 270. The CX12 is cross tuned. Anyway, I'll shut up now. :)

@@MattWatsonHarmonica Thanks for the information! I don't know any harmonica players that I can talk to about the instrument. I have recorded 5 CDs , my fifth is almost finished. I have to buy a new harmonica for each CD recording. Some notes stop working and sometimes I use a spare to fill in for the missing note. Now my low D# /Eb is making a rattling noise and I can't play much in the Eb key🙄I wish I could fix it. Anyway, it's nice chatting with you.

@@loisdgilbert8639 Let’s see if you can fix it. If my memory serves Eb is slide in draw bottom reed plate? Take off the cover plates. Moisten a piece of paper. Needs to be damp. Take a pin and lift the plastic valve (wind saver) and put the moist paper under it. With your finger lightly push and pull out the paper to clean it. Repeat a few times. Do the same to the piece of plastic that is on top of the wind saver. That serves as a spring to keep the wind saver flat. You can use the dry end of the paper to dry when done. Let me know if this works. I do this all the time with my draw notes.
