Hi Charles, thanks for mentioning my video. I believe that learning to use this intonation can be a great way to dive deeper into the history of blues harmonica and how early harp players learned to use the strengths of just intonation to do things you can't do on any other instrument.
Hi Richard, thank you for your comment! Yes, just intonation really brings back the original sound of Blues harmonica. Two things that really caught my interest in your video were the fact that double stops and chords sound better through a tube amp with just intonation, and also the nice "difference tones" you get when playing two notes at the same time with this intonation. I wish Hohner had kept just intonation for the Marine Band and equal temperament for the Golden Melody, the way they were made before. I think it made a lot of sense. A Marine Band for Blues playing, and a Golden Melody for fancy single-note stuff.
