God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Chromatic Harmonica Cover - Christmas 2024
I hope you enjoy my short arrangement of this traditional Christmas Carol, and receive it as a "Tiding of Comfort and Joy".
Played on my Hohner 270, this recording marks the 4th month in my "harmonica journey".
God exists, He loves you and invites you into His family, through faith in His Son, Jesus, the Christ.

Unboxing my first Seydel Volcany - Chromatic Harmonica

Two months ago I started my harmonica journey. After experimenting with a few cheap-ish instruments and some pre-owned harmonicas, I felt it was time for a real instrument. After much research and friendly advice from friends, I settled on the Seydel Volcany. Let the journey begin!

One of my favorite traditional hymns. I composed an original arrangement around it but left the main melody of the song basically intact. This melody, now in the public domain, is part of the piece 'Finlandia', composed by Jean Sibelius, 1899.

Picking Etude #1 - "Subdued Monologue" - Testing old Ibanez unamplified
Переглядів 45011 років тому
Visit my website: gitaarschoolermelo.nl Bezoek mijn website: gitaarschoolermelo.nl This is a 30yr old Ibanez of a good friend of mine. I played it unamplified and was blown away with how well his camera recorded the acoustic sound of this guitar. It resonates pretty good even though it is strung with merely a set of .010 strings.

Our band "G.R.I.P.", which stands for "Groove Right In Peace" won a (jazz) band competition under the name "Skywalkers". This exerpt is from one of these first gigs. Solo exerpt and ending of a tune called "Masters of the Universe". We play our own blend of jazz, funk, soul, rock, fusion and whatever else comes up, adding a little something of our own.

Joy Comes In The Morning

It is my joy to share this original tune with you. I wrote it a few days before my baby girl was born last October, who is also called 'Joy', so this one is dedicated to her. We decided to keep it simple, but this tune can and will also be played with a full band. With this recording I'm trying out the Zoom Q3 for the first time. My guitar is a Guild X-500 and Jozua is playing the Yamaha S90. P...

    Hello, I am the designer of Bun Trochilus, and I am also a harmonica lover. After receiving the JDR notification, I took a closer look at the problem described in your video. For the problems you feel, I will give you some answers, hoping to help you: the problem of inconsistent volume of the yellow model is mainly because the arrangement of the blowing reed of the single hole will lead to different sound effects. Because the Trochilus does not have a diaphragm, the blowing reed shares the same air duct, so when a single reed vibrates, the other reed will cause interference, which is a common phenomenon in the traditional ten-hole harmonica "double reed pressure". When the pitch difference of the blowing reed in a single hole is only half a tone, this sense of leakage and a brighter tone will be especially obvious. You will feel that the fa and do tones in particular on the lower register will be brighter and louder, this is a normal phenomenon, and this will be mitigated to some extent by controlling breath and mouth movements. In addition, when the blowing sound is higher than the inspiratory pitch in a single hole, the hole is the blowing pressure sound, so when you play the do of the fourth hole, if the tone is very sharp, the reed is actually in a state of pressure sound (the do of the eighth hole has the same phenomenon, but it is relatively less obvious). In addition to changing the mouth and breath, you can also solve the problem of uneven volume and timbre by partially or completely laminating the Trochilus. The effect is immediate. When you apply the diaphragm to the Trochilus, its air tightness and timbre are equivalent to that of a traditional chromatic harmonica. I hope my answer can solve your confusion, have any questions feel free to leave a message. In addition, thank you for your support, the video production is very hard! I can feel your love and expectation for this instrument. We will continue to work hard!❤❤

      Hi Bun! Great meeting you in Seoul this summer! Yes, you are correct, it is physics between semitones in the same reed chamber. Strange phenomenon.

    22:30 I love that tone! You can almost hear the wood. Warm, crystal clear. Best so far but I’m a n00b finding his way around a possible new hobby. But that sound is absolutely tickling al sorts of taste buds…

      Brass reeds and wooden comb is what made Hohner great. Certainly still the sound of the great innovators Toots Thielemans and Larry Adler. The Trochilus has an ABS comb, phosphor bronze reeds, and no valves. All factors contributing to tone.
