"Paddy Richter" harmonica tuning

We have some evidence, however, that you may have to pay for the reeds.

And Jean Sabot is an excellent fellow whom I've met several times, a real can-do sort of fellow (and a magnificent and knowledgeable player of Irish), and his suggested retuning for Irish is very good indeed. You have to be pretty good at retuning to do it, though... :boggle:

He jested, quaff'd and swore."

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

Valved bends are just as possible as unvalved ones, though the principle is different. Half-valved diatonics are half-valved precisely to permit note-bending.
Hey Steve, i've already remove the windsavers :lol:
In fact i play on half-valved chromatic, and i have one without any valve. It's ok, i've made some gapping and the harps play well.
