Re: "Paddy Richter" harmonica tuning
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...
"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
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!

Hey Steve, i've already remove the windsaversSteveShaw wrote:Whoa, don't remove the windsavers! You'll make your harp as leaky as a sieve. Also, you don't need to remove windsavers in order to bend notes! 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.
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.
