After an earlier video of yours, I got the blue Trochilus from Ron. I am pretty competent at richter, but I haven’t figured out quite what to do with it yet. I hope you do more videos on it to show some possibilities. Your car is a fine place to do your videos.
Love that a US based company is making this type harp now. I wanna grab one and see how close I can come to playing Stevie wonders for once in my life solo. I think this harp is gonna be a staple in most guys cases eventually Rockin ton is my go to ship to get harps. 3 days max from the west coast to me in Cincinnati and no shipping cost. Can’t beat that
I feel like I've just been reborn, I'm absolutely blown away to be honest, I have to have one, or a full set, I'm not sure I will rest at night otherwise
Got one love it one thing the slide sticks when I first pick it up get it a bit wet and it's fine .Didn't want use oil on it I see the slide is on the plastic comb I think it grips it when dry they play great. love you can do trills, great if you can't O/B, the holes take a bit of getting used to if your a diatonic player.
It will get sticky if you breathe sticky residues into from food, drink, or even your own body secretions. They will dry and harden, making the slide stick. Moistening it before you start playing helps, but so can playing after rinsing your mouth and, occasionally, removing the mouthpiece and slide and cleaning them.
This doesn’t make sense to me. It’s a chromatic with Richter/Paddy tuning. At least the TurboHarp actually BENDS the reeds Flat when ya press the plunger.
The Gamechanger actually bends in all the ways you'd expect - you can hear me doing it in the video. And then I alternate the bent version of the note with the slide-in version for a contrast in tone color and note attack. All the slide does in raise everything a half-step. Slide richter has been around for 125 years
@@winslowyerxa8505have you had a chance to try it amplified? I’m curious to know if the size prevents a good mic seal. I can see the potential with it, but I’m not sure it will be more applicable vs using OB/OD’s.
@@norfolknwhey4787 If you can cup a chromatic to a mic, you can definitely cup this one. It's only slightly bigger than a diatonic, and, at the back where you'd cup it, it's exactly the same length give or take a millimeter or two. And it will play OB/ODs as well as slide moves. Actually, that's be a good video subject - A/B a Marine Band with a Gamechanger, same key, same cupped mic.
@@winslowyerxa8505excellent demo video. I appreciate you taking the time to make it. They owe you some marketing credit. I’m sure there will be quite a few sold after the amplified demo. 👏

From the car or the studio, you are always right on point. Very interesting! Looking forward to the next ones. 🎶🙏

@@winslowyerxa8505 just put in the sonic cleaner did the trick .thanks I smoke a lot
@@raymondallanwing When I open up my harps I find coffee stains :)
Great video 👍

It's like having an A harp and a Bb harp built into one body. I'm going to make some videos showing simple ways to take advantage of that fact.
