Gear

Last Sunday, at the Harpsmith shop Andy Just was regaling his adventures from the recent Ford Brothers Northern California tour (Andy replaced retired Mark Ford as first chair harmonica player). He was excited about the reverb stomp pedal Robben Ford had him play through, but couldn't quite recall the name of the unit. I wish you all could have seen the look on Andy's face as I pulled the new "TC Hall of Fame" reverb pedal out of my gig bag--classic! continue reading...

So I was really excited about the Blues Session Steel harmonicas. I really like the way that they sound and they are very comfortable. Unfortunately I have been having some bad luck. Within less than a week, I had reed go flat on me. I sent it in to get repaired and in the meantime bought another Blues Session Steel harp (in a different key). Within a week, a reed snapped and I sucked it into my mouth. I don't play these any harder than my Hohners or Lee Oskars so maybe I am just having REALLY bad luck.

Loving them. At first I was put off by the hunter orange color of the the comb but they don't tear up my mouth and I get much less high pitch squealing as I'm learning to control my bends. They just feel... right. The only problem with them is that they are so comfortable I can't stop playing. I had the excuse with previous models, that my mouth was too raw to practice any longer. With these I can practice for 10+ hours a day! Seydel for me from here on out. Worth the extra $ as the stainless steels last a whole lot longer (allegedly).

Got a little DanElectro HoneyTone mini amp for $20 at Guitar Center last week. It has kind of a cool sound. Little belt clip and battery option too. The AC adapter for my DanElectro Echo pedal works with it too. Has anyone messed around with these? What are the preferred settings you use out of curiosity?

I love marine bands but I hate their combs.
Do you know any seller of composite- bamboo- rosewood- ebony combs for the 364 or 365 models?

Thanks in advance.

I just put a great kalamazoo model 2 amp up for sell on ebay i hope dave dont mind me posting this but thought since its for gear somebody may be looking for one i priced it to sell at only 250 so go take a look

I have one of these harmonica holders: http://www.amazon.com/Hohner-HH154-Harmonica-Holder/dp/B0002D00FK

And the harmonica keeps slipping forward. The metal prongs that wrap around the back are pretty loose. Is that normal? Am I pushing to hard against it?

I usually play special 20s, but I often have to toss them. I got a set semi-customized and many are much better. I got one fully customized. But the best of all is the Crossover. Easy to bend, and none of the holes are thin or airy. I'm expecting a couple more customized. I'll see how they compare. The Crossover's an A. I want to play everything in E now. Check 'em out.
