    One thing about playing such a superb instrument is that you realize what is possible to achieve on the harmonica. I've known some really great players who felt that some things were difficult or impossible to do on a harp until they managed to get their hands on a better instrument. In a way it's like playing one of the early mouse-eared Marine Bands that played beautifully and overblow very easily straight out of the box. I feel that playing such a superb instrument will actually have you demanding and getting more from the regular instruments you already own.

    Great review Tomlin. I have a few of Joels harps. They are nice, but I would truly love to try on of those D-10s sometime. To really do justice to some of the tunes I arrange and compose need desperately to be played on a harp that sounds like what you're describing. I have some favorites, but cant say I've ever played on the perfect harp that is perfectly consistent with every version. $1000 is a hefty price tag... You're a lucky man! Enjoy that thing.

    If you are ready to spend that much money I suggest Brodur Harmonicas and adding a good customization work with your favourite customizers and you'll get by far the best harmonicas I have ever seen and on top of that they are real pieces of art!
    I have not tried the one you are presenting but I did tried a lot of very high end harmonicas and none are as good as Brodur (as long as you add customization)

    • @TomlinHarmonica
      @TomlinHarmonica  5 місяців тому

      Totally agree that Brodur harmonicas are great, I just couldn’t get comfortable with the feel in my mouth. It’s a personal preference thing.

    There is a custom pocket knife guy in town called Rudi Fourie, you can choose your own handle materiel as well as any other custom bells and whistles you desire in the assembly, they are not cheap but they are personally unique, special,
    This harmonica is worth it just from hearing how this guy treats his own personally engraved harmonica. . .

    I love your page... With you I learn how to do bendings. I am a musician, I play piano and guitar. It's easy for me to understand the fact that, if there are guitars and pianos that cost over a thousand dollars, why not a harmonica? Now, I would love, if you could tell me, at your discretion, understanding that there are tastes and brands, what is the best brand of harmonicas? For years I have used Hohner, a few days ago I got the Mick Jagger, Lee Oskar model, I have also played on the Fenders brand, I even have a G from the Hinner brand with which I play Tom Petty songs

    Having said that, it is entirely in the realm of possibility or likelihood that there are advantages, perhaps hidden advantages, to this instrument based on the "secret treatment" of the reeds. In other words, what you demonstrated didn't surpass anything I know to be achievable on other custom harmonicas, high-end beautifully done, like I said, for around the third the price or so, but perhaps as you play it more, you will be able to demonstrate things that somehow do surpass other superbly set up and treated harps.

      @TomlinHarmonica  5 місяців тому +1

      Out of the box harmonicas are generally good these days but you do sometimes get a dud. This is why people pay to get customs. I’d say Joel’s harmonicas are the Patek Philippe of the harmonica world though ;-)

    Nonetheless, congratulations on this very special gift!

      I totally agree. That’s why I said that you can do anything on a Hohner Marine Band but it’s the feel and musicality that I find amazing on this harmonica.

    If you're hiring a craftsperson to create something special, the hours alone needed to make that harmonica would be worth $1000 - it sounds and looks beautiful (Bet it wouldn't if I had one :-). ). Only downside is Tomlin saying he wants a full set...Does this mean the cost of the lessons is going up? ;-)
