My goal is to learn Bach Cello Suite 1. I have a music background, would you recommend a 16 hole? I have a 12 hole already. Thank you again for your knowledge!
Beautiful playing David ,lovely tone ,I own this instrument I can't get the same tone as you ,I would love to buy the frictionless mouthpiece for this do you ship to the UK please
Hello David, Since you have demonstrated the 16hole vs 12hole chromatics, I wonder which 16 holes you would recommend, and if you would recommend them at all for a beginner level player? Also, when do you think should one switch to a higher level harmonica? (I currently play an Easttop Kingdream)
a beginner will be well served with the Easttop EAP 16 holer, inexpensive and airtight. Also Suzuki SCX. Pro instruments Seydel Saxony and Symphony models, and Suzuki Fabulous. You are welcome to speak with me, send a message using contact link on mastersofharmonica.com
@@mastersofharmonica6200 Hi David, I'm following your course from the 16-hole Symphony to the 12-hole Volcany orchestra. I agree on three points to get a more complex sound: - the size of the instrument - the material - the number of reeds, especially in the lower registers I think these three factors combined produce a sympathetic vibration that I really like. Of course, this is only the beginning of a sympathetic vibration, as the temperament and chromaticism of the harmonica do not allow for real use of this effect. In short, I really like this rich sound and I'd like to know which harmonica shines the most in this area: the 16-hole Symphony, which has more reeds, or the 12-hole Volcany, which has more homogeneous material and is better at transmitting vibrations?
I bought a Suzuki Chromatix (16 hole) but doesn't have a 'mouth-peice SLIDER'... do they make it easier to play single notes ? (I'm a guitarist/pianist, so harps are all new to me right now). Also, will a Kettlewell fit my harp ?
Yes. Sliders are only available from David Kettlewell personally, who hand makes each one. Reach out to him on Facebook, or the Love Of Chromatic Harmonica Facebook Group, or his website contact link at MASTERSOFHARMONICA.COM...use the manual email method
I own a Symphony. It feels great in my hands, and it has a great sound throughout. But. A big BUT. The slide spring breaks every few months! Do you have any suggestions?
This will not be easy...get the magnetic button, put it on your slide and get a magnet set from the factory. Then use the combination of spring and magnetic. I would also suggest you start using slide oil properly to lubricate the slide, might help. Or keep a good supply of springs on hand for repairs.
Hi Douglas, I used to play an Ultimate '58 (red) w. volume knob from Greg Heumann as Toots played, from BLOWSMEAWAY.COM, but this one is a bit different the Bulletini with volume control from same fellow. Greg worked on a team handling sound for Toots, so nuff said..
Could you make any recommendations for a chromatic harmonica for classical music, but one that doesn't need microphone/reverb amplification. Are there any chromatic horns on the market that have natural violin/viola volume unamplified?
Personally, I'd get a Suzuki Chromatix 64 (16 holer) and airtighten it. Inexpensive and fine tone, pro. Understand much of tone quality and timbre comes from the player's use of hands and embouchure.

Thank you for nice videos. Where can I found the slider mouthpiece? Can we put the slider on a 12 holes like « De luxe Steel » ?
More space = more reverb. Love your joy in playing. 😊
More beautiful than a saxophone. Beautiful sound you’re making.
Thanks for listening
God damn that sounds good.
Thank you, I agree

Yes, or a harmonica with what's called ORCHESTRAL TUNING...G3 to F#6

Currently I play the Seydel Volcany all brass 12 hole orchestra tuned harp...best in my opinion

David, hi…
What microphone setup are you using there ?

How beneficial it would be if some some chromatic playing was incorporated.,
