You know, I haven't played my Echo celeste tremellos for alittle while... I've been mostly playing my paddy-richtored 10-hole since I re-tuned them .... yesterday after posting here I dug out my Celeste tremellos for a try ....wow, I couldn't believe how much more air they took to play then the 10 h...

It's fine in here ... except for all of those pesky button-pushing
bellow-squeezers we're tripping over.

Ive got a couple of Hohner Echo tremelo harmonicas ... The Echo G - harp is nice ,plays nicely and sounds ok, especially if you consider the cheap price ... Then I bought a D- tremelo Echo harp , but it's more of a disappointment on the bottom end .... plays kinda constipated on the low end Maybe i...

Wow, now that's what I call impulse buying !!!

Way to go !!!

Hey guys The other day I was helping a pennywhistle playing friend move out of his old house into a new one... and in his backyard , not far from the Delaware river I spotted some rather large cane growing . To me it looks like the Spainish cane I bought years ago , ha ...Im sure it's some sort of a...

Hi Steve I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful irish harmonica website , it's always nice when someone with good information is unselfish and shares what he knows about things that work.... I played harmonica as a kid and now that Im in a couple of bands I find the harmonica nice to carry an...

Thankyou for these words of wisdom from us self-taught pipers who often wonder if our chanters were made correctly or if we are just going insane for choosing such an instrument :D I had a devil of a time the other night at the very beginning of a session ,trying to stay perfectly in-tune to the Iri...

Hey , yes , those are nice recordings of Ennis , thanks for posting them ... everything Ive heard commercially of Ennis has sounded technically great but rather rushed ... I like these more relaxed versions of his playing.

I didn't vote yet because while I like the idea of a scalloped chanter allowing my fingers to fall into place easier, I've never tried such a chanter out yet, so I don't know if my vote would be worth anything ... I don't seem to have much trouble with the spacing of any Uilleann-D chanter I've trie...

Ha, yup ... I got the Rosewood sweetheart of a chanter , thanks again Seth

That chanter looks like more of Seth's wonderful craftsmanship ...sure it looks nice .... and if it plays like the chanter I have from him you can pretty well bet the new owner will be happy with it.... mine plays smooth as butter and is in tune up from top to bottom .... good reed to boot When I fi...

Just curious if there's any photo's out there that show where the mainstock and bellows fittings are tied into people's bags ? I wonder if people are tieing the mainstock/fittings in slighty different postions ? I am going to tie into a new bag soon and my present setup has the bellows fitting tied ...
