My Grandfather gave me a Hohner Chromonica back in the 80's. I've had it 30 years now, but is there a way to tell when it was made? I'm just curious about when he might have gotten it.

Hey guys, could you recommend me some nice quality harmonica cases that I can buy online and worldwide?

Thanks :)

Hello all,I just bought a seydel 1847 but I'm having trouble adjusting the gap (making it smaller). Before I've allways played crossovers but I wanted to compare them...On my crossovers I've done all the work myself reed shaping, gapping, embossing and fitting a custom comb on them. This makes them play even better than they do out of the box. (believe it makes a world of difference). continue reading...

Anyone have any experience with the customized Harmonicas from Sugar Cains Custom Harps?

Thoughts, Experiences, Opinions??

Hi All

I play Hohner Marine band Deluxe/Crossovers in the main, but am interested in having a go with a Suzuji Fire Breath/Pure Harp after seeing Brendan Power on a YouTube demonstrTing them.

Does anybody else like this model of Harp?

Hi All

just in 'case' (pardon the pun) anyone else is interested in one. 

I've just purchased a beautiful leather 4 harp case from Pinegrove Leather in Hebden Bridge West Yorkshire. 

Howard Levy has one so I though 'if it's good enough for him' ;-)

Here is the website address if anyone wants to have a look

Ps I have no financial interest in this shop. It just seems to make nice products.

For Sale: Standard Vintage Volume Control for CM/CR mics.  http://www.blowsmeaway.com/ordering.html and http://www.blowsmeaway.com/switchcraft.html

Selling it because I have the Bluexlab volume control which I like a little better and I don't need both.

It's the black standard one.  Used but in great condition.  Normally $65 + shipping new.  I'll sell mine for $35, free shipping stateside. Email me if you're interested.

Kim Wilson turned Rick Estrin onto this, who told me about it a few weeks ago.  They both swear by it.  This $116 pedal really is a miracle.  It takes any crappy or mediocre mic/amp combo and makes it sound like solid gold.  Don't ask me how. Like Kim and Rick, I can't put my finger on it, it just does something to your tone that makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.  Had to hear it to believe it myslef.  I'm in LOVE.  Most of the reviews on amazon are from guitar players but I think it sounds even better for harp players. continue reading...
