Trying to quickly set up at our jam session means setting up as quickly as possible for a 20 - 25 minute set. THis is the only time I get to play with others and try out different things - both technique and equipment wise. I have 3 pedals - delay. tone + (Lone Wolf) and a Kinder AFB+. continue reading...

Seydel has come out with a new 1847. It's called the Noble... stainless steel reeds, aluminum comb, side vented covers. You can order the covers only... under spare parts for the Noble. I've ordered some covers with vents to go on my wood combed 1847 Classics. I like harmonicas with side vents. What are your opinions about vents?

Fritz Hasenpusch, the Harp Mic Man, will be in to video record an interview and some lesson videos this weekend. If any of you have microphone questions let me know!

Anybody have experience with these?

Also, check out Jason Ricci's YouTube video on the site. He's really kicking ass with an Ultimate 57 tied into a wireless transmitter.

Does anyone know anything about this mic? Is it any good? What kind of element does it use?

Hi Everybody

Has anyone heard of or used the services of UK customiser, Antony Dannecker? I've bought a few harps from him and found them to be excellent. If you are into the Hohner MS series, Crossharps, Meisterklasse, etc then you might want to have a look at Antony. continue reading...

I just bought a Behringer V-Amp 3. Trouble is I put my headphones on and get lost in all the sounds I can make with my harp instead of doing what I sould be doing and earning some money. But nevermind! What these sort of devices produce may be only a close imitation of the real amps but the old masters didn't buy high end gear. They just made do with what they could afford and produced music that still thrills. It seems to me that if they'd had what we can have they wouldn't have restricted their tone pallette. continue reading...

David, or anyone, know if Rick Estrin uses any effects with his Harp King?

I have generally not been a fan of effects, but recently have decided that there are some tones that probably aren't going to be found any other way. I have had an Ibanez AD9 analog delay for some time, but have never been thrilled with it. I know David likes the Dan E echo and others mention the Lone Wolf. What makes one stand out over another? Any input would be appreciated - I hate to buy another toy that ends up in the unused pile. continue reading...

I've seen a gibson ga-5 2004 used for 450$ in the a store near me. Really good condition.

Suppose to be hand-wired, point-to-point.

Is this a good amp for harmonica?

Is this a good deal?

Thanks
