Brendan Power is a treasure and a fascinating man. Thank you both for offering this peek into his process and thinking.

Thanks, fascinating. Love the modular reed approach and the accordion reed harps.

Hello Liam, another great video, I think that Brendan Power is a very good harmonica player and inventor, he moved a harmonicas a step forward.

Brendan changed the way I play through his design. I use power chromatic tuning so often the past couple years - I have lost all my "blues harp" chops! Lol

[@edylefty8984]

Excellent stuff! I have two Power Bender's. The low F is awesome. Great design Brendan. I also have a Lucky 13 in Diminished tuning! The problem is that it's very leaky! Any suggestions would be most appreciated 😊🙏❤

I began harmonica in high school in the 70’s. Two friends coached me and we stood in our driveways or wherever and played together like you two in the intro. I think it is an underused style - the parking lot harmonica trio. So shout out to Doug H and Nicky F for getting me started on the thing.

Now that was brilliant thanks to you both.

Our pleasure!

This video is a gem 👍

Wonderful interview and intimate look at a wizard inventor and master player. Is Brendan married? The time put into experimentation wouldn't leave time for much else? Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks Liam.

The overblow booster, if marketed properly, would do very well. For some reason nearly all of the newer Gen players are fixated on ob/od way too early on in their musical journey. That device would greatly reduce the learning curve, albeit still not good for their long-term success. Heck, I’d love to be able to use the 6ob/7od without having to setup my harps and not knowing if they’ll be temperamental when needed. For that reason, I use this mostly as just passing notes.

Le mec le plus génial de l'harmonica!!!.Je suis harmoniciste et passe aussi mon temps à réaccorder mes harmos pour me faciliter le jeu dans différents styles (blues, jazz,country est...). j'utilise les chromatiques de tonalités différentes, ainsi que des diatos semi valvés et country tuned.Celà permet une grande diversité de phrasés.Sinon vous êtes cantonné dans un style précis (jazz pour le chromatique) et cela devient vite ennuyeux ...

I wish he'd make the Asia bender again
