I've had a Seydel Paddy Richter in A for a few weeks. The Paddy tuning is very helpful to me but I find the harp not as responsive as my Hohners or Lee Oscars....
... Which Seydel model (Session, Solist Pro, Solist Pro 12, Favorite, Favorite Black, 1847, 1847 Silver) do you have? AFAIK, the 1847 and 1847 Silver are the...
Hi, The stainless steel reeds also have a tighter reed slot tolerance than most harps, and for those who don't know what that is, it's the distance between the...
I have a bunch of Seydel Paddy's, though not the stainless steel variety. I love them and prefer them to my Oskars and Hohners. Maybe it's the SS. -- Al On...
Hi, How long have you owned this harp? The reason why I ask is that it may still be under warranty and could very well need some slight adjustments, possibly...
Thanks everyone. I'll take your suggestions and I'm going to email Rupert, whom I already talked with and who is very helpful. I'm so glad I found this group....
Thank you Crazy Bob. I must have misread the literature concerning stainless steel reeds. I'm not quite ready to adjust my own harps. I see I'll have to get...
Hi, One thing also to consider is that because the reed slot tolerances are tighter, and the need for more breath force becomes MUCH less necessary, that means...
Clyde, sorry so long to reply, I've been away from this site awhile. Currently I do not use chords when playing in second position. In theory you can play a G...
Just downloaded 4 more bluegrass instrumentals to my MySpace Music player. www.myspace.com/highdesertbluegrasssessions This player now holds 10 (the new...
I agree that the Melody Maker is not a good harp for chord playing, although it has a perfectly good tonic chord on draw 1-4. As the name implies, the MM is...
... I don't see how anyone can say that Bill... the standard Richter has only , take a C harp. as example : .. the C chord,, G and G7 and D minor (6th), B...
Good to know about all those chords on the MM, Paul. I may stick to playing single note lines on it. By the way, Ashokan Farewell sounds great on the MM! Bill ...
... those chords can be found as follow... G,, draw 1 , 2 ,3 and 4,, add draw 5 for the G major 7th A minor ... blow 3, 4 , and 5,, add blow 6 for A minor 7th ...
I'd like to try it Where can I get the sheet music for Ashoken Farewell ? Wayne ... From: Richard DiMaria To: bluegrassharp@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday,...
Wayne, If you like this version of Ashoken Farewell I recorded years ago and want the tab, let me know. http://cdbaby.com/cd/naiditch However I'm playing this...
After playing fiddle tunes on standard Richters and Paddy Richters for a few years I'm considering going with the circular tuning which Seydel offers. I know...
I used to play a chromatic harp (Hohner super 64). These are basically two harps in one case, one in C & one in C sharp. Two harps, even good ones, are...
Hi all, I recently joined Reverbnation and uploaded the songs from all three of my albums to a player on my website at http://www.dennis-cooper.com. Have a...
... The best expert that comes to mind is David Naiditch. Do a Google search for "David Naiditch chromatic bluegrass" and buy his songs. That should give you...
Hi Bill, After spending almost three years playing solo shows on the road full-time we've been laying pretty low for a while. It was a lot of fun but it's good...
... Another great musician and teacher is Winslow Yerxa, the author of the "Harmonicas for Dummiies" book (which, BTW, is one of the best books available on...
Crazy Bob, It's good to know that others have gone the Seydel Circular route. It seem strange in a way to go to a new tuning. But the way the circular is...
A couple of months ago I bought a Seydel harmonica and one of the reeds was flat and another was too tight. Their rep in the United States was very good about...
I bought 4 a low C which qucikly developed a cracked reed, a cirular c which so far has been fine and sounds good, and e which has problems that I self correct...
... I have absolutely NO knowledge of WHY the tonic note is on a draw reed. However, I do have a "guess." The hole 1 blow note is the 5th scale degree of the...
... I have not had a problem with any Seydel harp. The gapping is tighter (closer to the reedplate) than Lee Oskar hrps, which I used to play exclusively (BCT...
