I have an interesting story on Suzuki's SCX vs. Sirius, i could not decide between the two, so got both. Straight acoustic playing, the SCX is brighter sound, I didn't understand the difference until I put them on a pro studio recording system...there the Sirius shows it's stuff. Better saturated sound, richer, smoother,and better liked by listeners- no comparison, There is a reason the Sirius costs about 4x the Sirius, and that reason is quality sound. But you'll have to put it on professional sound equipment to hear it, just playing at home, they're both great. That said the SCX is the best value on the market, but the Siruis is a better harmonica...maybe the best in our time.
Well this is an old but goodie, Jason. I use both of these harps myself and I experience a different feel between them but I appreciate this opportunity to hear the difference in sound - which, in this case is there. The Sirius is, as I would have expected a bit deeper - but only a little. Nice demo and great playing too.
Odlicna prezentacija.Pokusajte po nekad bez pratecih matrica da bi se bolje cuo zvuk hsrmonike.Sirius me odusevljava ali i rastuzuje jer znam da ga ne mogu imati.Zato uzivam slusajuci njegov zvuk.Pisebno mi se svidja ovaj 56 tj sa 14 rupa.
Possibly the coolest harmonica video on the Tube! And your twin is really good, too!!! Sirius-ly, Jason, this is so good you should have 100 times the views. And I know how you can do it, too: Rename it "Playing With Myself."
Dear musicfriends, W O W - wonderful live performance, awasome music and VIRTUOSO chromatic harmonica playing, we enjoyed your performance and awasome music very much, our compliments to you both - BRAVO !! Have a very nice weekend. Dearest greetings from Chris and Mayka - The Netherlands - Western Europe.
I'm just getting into chromatic harps looking to buy my first one, I have regular gig spots and looking to add in the chromatic so this kind of vid is spot on, can't believe Its taking me so long to start listening to jazz type music especially on the harmonica, a whole new world!. Cheers fae Bonnie Scotland
Blues Bop! You are the man! Not many play this tune. Last I heard was Dave Grusin's version. Question, sir: what is your "go-to" harmonica? I noticed you have a few. 56 hole versus 64 hole? Any preferences? Thanks for all you do, man!
So nice. I admire your work. Would you please comment on any percieved differences in playability? I'm considering buying a Sirius but suspect the extra expense over the SCX might not be justified in my case. Thanks!
Well, there is a difference in playability, but the SCX is the best harp in it's price range, period. I've been on a buying jag, (again) and there's no comparing Suzuki's for tightness and playability. The Sirius is my favorite harp, but I play the SCX all the time. The 14 holer (56 reed) is worth checking out if ya dig jazz. that low G is SO handy for playing the head on zillions of tunes. From "Sugar" to "Ipanema". It takes a little getting used to, but I can't function without it now...
Looks so easy, doesn't it?..well, you've either "got it or you don'"... this chromatic is an interesting instrument!..so small, you can put it in your pocket and play it at a moments notice!.."way to go!"..
Haha. I don't cup Bro. BTW neither does my hero Toot's. When I "cup" it's got coffee in it! I prefer that pure, clean sound! But if you like to "cup"- go for it! I'd love to hear your videos...got any? Cheers!
Bluesbop Thanks for the explanation, your playing is great. I'm kinda Larry Adler fanboy so cupping is something I always notice. Players like you put me to shame, so I'm unsure about any clips of me in close future. Guitar maybe, but not harp.
Personnellement,j'ai retiré le métal à l'intérieur du SIRIUS.Celà l'alourdit pour rien. Cependant l'embouchure argent et les capots sont de meilleure qualité sur le SIRIUS.Mais la différence de prix est exagérée,on joue aussi bien avec le SCX.

You deserve to be famous Maestro!
BRAVO! Wonderful vid!
Phrasing and rhythm extraordinare! Very Toots-like....
Real nice!!!

Of their price was similar, should I go with the SCX or the Sirius?

Excelentes músicos. Ambas as harmônicas são boas, a SCX 56, me parece com um som mais brilhante. Parabéns, gostei!

Hi Jason do you offer Skype lessons? I'm a diatonic player who's been playing for 14 years and been playing chromatic in the last
Found this by accident, Jase. Good playing!
Love the tune!

Can I swear on your channel? Bloody brilliant
I think my next one is going to be the Seydel Saxony. Suzuki does make some amazing chromatic harps though.
Did you get the Saxony?
Hey Bluesbop, where can I find Suzuki Harmonicas on the internet, which aren't fake from Asia....?
Rockin Rons carries them, as well as Danny G at New Harmonica.com. I doubt the harps from Japan are fake though, there's just no U.S. warranty.
Bluesbop Thank you!
So nice. I admire your work. Would you please comment on any percieved differences in playability? I'm considering buying a Sirius but suspect the extra expense over the SCX might not be justified in my case. Thanks!
update?
As usual, very well played ! :-)
I prefer your sound with the Sirius which has a clearer and brighter sound.
I purchased the SCX-48 a month ago and love it. I just purchased the SCX-64C online and am awaiting it in the mail. Love these harps.

Hi! what does it mean....? cheers!
Is it Morse code?
Very good !
However, I have not heard any real differences between these two harmonicas.
Pesonnellement, I prefer the Sirius for its playing comfort
You know, Jase, the SCX has more "presence". It's tone is a little less sweet but somehow I like it better (!)

Great tip! Awesome video!
I think the Sirius has a slightly brighter top end.
I agree.

I was ready to bitch about the absence of cupping here, but then I realized it's a test.

I didn't know the mouthpiece had a different material. That's interesting.
