Mick Kinsella plays the Easttop Lucky 13 Solo tuned Harmonica

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Wonderful in-depth review Mick! Thanks for your suggestion regarding the valve on the 7th notes - I'll pass that on to Easttop 👍 Tijn Berends is another great exponent of Irish trad playing with Solo Tuning.

I love the idea of playing the lower octave on the B part of the tune!! Thanks Mick 😊

Wonderful!!!

Great overview Mick, and nice to have the solo tuning option for Trad tunes on the Lucky's Brendan. I've gotten in the habit of valving those 7th notes on any solo tuned diatonics I set up. Good use of the extra low end.

Great work mick

I got one. Impressed with the build and the sound. But I’m initially struggling in the lower octave. Whether it’s the slightly slimmer holes, comb width or thicker bottom cover I’m having difficulty hitting clean single notes and getting a tremolo effect over the scale end/start. I do better if I slant the harmonica but that doesn’t feel natural and is alien to the way I play my others. It is the way quite a lot of players seem to hold theirs though. Practice, practice, practice and I should get there. One or two notes in the second octave are a bit weak. As a piece of kit though it’s fantastic, so we’ll built. Paddy next.

Es una autentica maravilla despues de ponerle algunas pegas a la armonica tengo que decir que es una de las mejores armonicas que tengo.

[@TheBrokenHead]

Al principio parece que cuesta, pero la verdad que es muy suave cuando la tocas, la gente dice que se escapa el aíre y cuesta mucho tocarla, una autentica mentira, la armonica es una autentica obra de arte. Al final Tengo la Lucky tunig en D, y las armonicas Lucky 13 Bass Blues en F y B, Que tambien son un obra de arte. Ahora a conseguir todas las demas. Saludos y un placer conocer tu canal👍👍👏👏

Hi mick any recommendations for what harmonica would be good to start of on and easy enough to play for jigs reels and ballads in d an g 👍

[@bp_48hrs63]

Well namesake! A chromatic harmonica in G would be good Gerard.
