New Easttop 64 Chromatic Harmonica Demo

[@GDyer-cl8fl]

Excellent as usual. I think you could make any harp sound good. Not so much the instrument as it is you. You’re the best.

[@chrisbauermusic]

G. Dyer Thanks so much!!

[@chrissonntag3968]

Super impressed. I'm looking forward to my Opus12 coming in the mail soon from them, seems like it'll be in the same relative quality as the one you played. Glad to see that this company is making quality affordable instruments.

Молочага, ты с нашего поколения!!! Браво, старик😃😃👍👍!! Не старей😃музыка вечна..!!! Спасибо!

[@2468102870]

Great playing,as always. Wanted to say that when I first played a Suzuki chrome,I thought they were the best until I played an Easttop. Suzuki is a 9.5 and an Easttop is a 10 MHO. Glad to see that you are endorsing these great harmonicas.

[@chrisbauermusic]

carl rosetti jr Thanks Carl! You'll definitely love this one.

[@48CHORD]

Chris I can only stand behind what I can precisely measure as to what creatures the best compression, the smoothest slide, next to zero leakage with the slide assembly and the highest quality of Phosphorus Bronze reeds which in the machining industry is the highest quality of the " spring steel " but the " spring steel " is just a name there is no carbon steel in the reed material..just sounds good. But it's just copper, tin & Phosphorous and the magic begins.. the right percentage and hardness and you have the highest quality spring back before failure that I have tested over 5 years..ok it's late and goodnight Chris

[@chrisbauermusic]

Wally P The slide assembly is pretty airtight and very smooth. The low octave plays well. I’m liking the expressive capabilities of the reeds too.

[@99TECHN0TRASH]

Phenomenal interpretation of a timeless song.

Great skills. Enjoying listening to this at work.

[@chrisbauermusic]

Nick R Thanks!!

[@ikedetpison5171]

I'm really loving the sound! I'm guessing Brass Comb? How would you compare it to the suzuki Sirius or Chromatix? From the recording it sounds very loud and precise, more like a horn instrument. I find it interesting that it is cheaper, and yet uses better materials then ABS .

[@chrisbauermusic]

I've played both the Sirius and the Chromatix. I would say this is a bright version of the Sirius. It has the response of the Chromatix as well. Hope that helps!

[@AightBro1337]

Amazing! Thank you for this video!

[@chrisbauermusic]

THISHANDS Thanks for checking it out! This is one fine harmonica!

[@johnfleff]

Great Job .... see you at NAMM 2020 16-19 January..Let's play together this year (I'm sure I can play any song you play...I will really enjoy doing this with you....I'm more than sure you will be pleased with the results... Theere is no doubt "EastTop Full harmonica line is far better that all their compitission.....Eli "King of Rock & Roll Harmonica"..Let's "Rock"...CAT! PS: The two thumbs down are blues players for sure.

[@chrisbauermusic]

Eli The King of Rock & Roll Harmonica Sounds great!! See you there!

[@hxxu9264]

really enjoy！！ I remembered the price of this brass comb version is just similar with hohner super64 and La 64 in China， so it's not very competitive...

[@hxxu9264]

I mean LA 16

[@ChristianMASCRET]

BRAVO Chris !

[@chrisbauermusic]

Christian MASCRET Thanks!

[@fingerhorn4]

Great playing and nice to hear someone using TASTEFUL vibrato. I have an Easttop 40 and it's excellent except low F and F sharp sound "stuck". I can get them to sound if I really relax completely but only just. How do I adjust the reeds/valves so they blow more freely?

[@chrisbauermusic]

Thanks so much! When you say stuck do you mean that if you play the note hard, it chokes? If that's the case, the reed gap needs to a little wider. Do you know how to gap reeds?

[@fingerhorn4]

@@chrisbauermusic Yes I meant choking. Unfortunately it's mainly on the draw reed which means opening up the tiny screws to access the inner part of the reed plate. Thanks for your quick response and solution. I have tried widening the gap on a couple of blow reeds and yes it does definitely help. Thanks again.

[@chrisbauermusic]

fingerhorn4 Yeah, pulling all those screws is a chore. If you’re really careful you can do it from the top...but it's not easy.

[@48CHORD]

I Love your video..the " new Easttop 64" is a Great musical instrument to share your love of music..I have some questions to ask you and can't wait to take one of these apart to compare it to the other brass model Easttop chromatics.

[@chrisbauermusic]

Wally P Hey there my friend! Yeah, this harmonica is superb. They hit a home run on this one. I think you'd be impressed with it!

[@48CHORD]

@@chrisbauermusic Chris on the few songs that you might use the lower octave..how did it feel to you?

[@chrisbauermusic]

Wally P Lower octave feels very open. Able to get vibrato on the low Bb.

[@williamhbynumiii5269]

Amazing brother!

[@chrisbauermusic]

William H Bynum III Thanks!! It’s a marvelous harmonica!

[@chrismengos8379]

Hello and thanks for the review! I have the black 12 hole version and like it a lot (previously owned a Seydel Saxony Chromatic). What is the difference in the sound from the silver one (12 hole again)? Also, is there a difference in playing comfort and passing holes(material of the mouthpiece-silver compared to the gold plated one), between these two? Is there a big difference in the sound with the brass comb? Thanks a lot

[@dannyvanswieten2484]

Verry nice thanks for sharing! Have you tried the Kongsheng Lyra yet? It's another very decent and affordable chinese made 12 hole chromatic with an aluminium comb.

[@chrisbauermusic]

Danny van Swieten Thanks! I have seen them but haven’t had a chance to try one. They look beautifully made though.

[@daviraftopoulosoliveira3731]

nice! where can i find more recordings of jazz chromatic harmonica?

[@brianpite0893]

Excellent playing Chris! Is this the Easttop with the brass comb?

[@chrisbauermusic]

Brian Pite0 Yes it is. It has some "heft" to it, but plays beautifully.

[@thomaspekar8710]

where can i oprder one tom

[@drackini]

Nice one sir. BTW I have a question, whether I should go for easttop 64 or swan 1664? Which one is better?

[@chrisbauermusic]

little john The Easttop’s have come a long way. You can get their 1664 with an ABS comb for a reasonable price through Danny G at New Harmonica.com.

[@lwinlwin8995]

Nice. brother

[@paulchalmus6920]

Aaaaaw ...man. Nice playing.

[@chrisbauermusic]

Thank you sir!! This harp is sweet!

[@leonardi_car]

Amazing sound of course the player is amazing too jejeje Is this the new Blue edition of Easttop? the EAP-16 ?

[@chrisbauermusic]

It’s a brass comb 16 hole. Not sure what model it became.

[@leonardi_car]

Sorry Chis I heard you say it was at the end.

[@chrisbauermusic]

Brian Pite0 No worries!

[@chrismengos8379]

Hello and thank you for the nice review!I orded an Easttop brass 12 hole harmonica and the seller says that this harmonica has been upgraded, In order to prevent the brass from being oxidized and the brass Comb is nickel-plated, which can better protect the Comb. Do you know if this is true? Thank you very much

[@chrisbauermusic]

Chris Mengos Thanks and glad it helped! I’m not sure of that upgrade, but it certainly makes sense. I’ll have to look into that.

[@chrismengos8379]

@@chrisbauermusic yours brass harmonica is silver plated or just brass?

[@chrisbauermusic]

Chris Mengos It’s plated
