In addition to shaping the sound, many passionate harmonica players appreciate how the four cover plate vents function as exhaust ports to relieve excessive air pressure. Players also appreciate how the cover plate vents serve as "near field monitors" to help hear themselves better. This will be obvious when the Player does a side-by-side comparison with vented cover plates to harmonicas without vents, such as the HOHNER Special 20, AMP and Golden Melody😉

I really don’t like NOT vented covers . And I am very very in love with MB1896 (crossover also but so $$). I came back to them after trying LO and multitude of others . Except Seydel, I must say .

To prevent scratching I use vinyl tap on the edge of the duck bill vise grips; I use this method in aviation sheet metal which I’ve been doing for close to 50 years, I wish I was as good with my harmonica as I’m doing sheet metal

First time I ever tinkered with a harmonica was after reading an article you wrote a very long time ago. Nice video. I've used a seeming tool to open covers before, but you used them differently in the beginning than I do. Looks like you get that bend started with more mechanical advantage than I do. I'm looking forward to more of these. :)

I have a crossover in C that does not appear to have the asymmetrical shape of the G(?) harp in this video, but my low D thunderbird does. Does that asymmetrical cover shape start at a key below C or do i have an older crossover?

From HOHNER, this innovative Marine Band Draw Cover Plate is only available on the LOW TUNED Thunderbird models.

Are those vise grips homemade? Do you happen to have any combs for a Golden Melody?
@HARPSMITH9008 ай бұрын
Shown in the video are Sheet Metal Pliers made by Vise Grip. I first learned of this terrific tool when I was a HVAC (Sheet Metal) mechanic some 50 years ago... For Golden Melody combs I recommend you contact Tom Halchak at . Tell him that Kinya sent you.

Trying to understand the difference between Crossover and MBdeluxe …? Pear vs bamboo. Ok . But what else ?
@HARPSMITH9008 ай бұрын
Both the Sealed Pearwood and Composite Bamboo are enjoyed by zillions of players across the globe. One is no better than the next, it is purely a matter of personal preference. The real difference between the Marine Band Deluxe 2005 and Crossover is TEMPERAMENT. The Marine Band Deluxe 2005 is tuned to "Modern Marine Band"--very close to the original Just Intonation found with the original Marine Band 1896 and favored by traditional Bluz Harmonica Players for the smooth chords. The Crossover is tuned in Compromised Just and is extremely appealing to the bulk of today's contemporary player, where single note melodies and chordal playing are a part of their repertoire.

@@HARPSMITH900 wow! Thank you so much for such deep explanations. I must say that I am not educated enough to understand all… I just know that my true love is the MB1896 because of …I just don’t know. Emotions (mathematics could kick in with frequency analysis I suppose ;))!

While there isn't a meaningful difference between the two per se, the Thunderbird series are essentially low key crossovers. I'm not aware of low key MBDs.

Hey Brian, my apologies for the confusion. The HOHNER Thunderbird Low-Tuned Harmonicas are positioned under the category, "DIATONIC MARINE BAND SERIES". Built on the composite Bamboo Comb similar to the HOHNER Crossover Harmonica. Look for the M2011BXL nomenclature, followed by the following key signatures: LF, G, A, Bb, C, D, Eb, E, F (Compromised Just Tuning)@@brianhancher2339
