Nice playing Steve.

PS. If you get a minute, I'd be curious about what your thoughts are about my thread from a few days ago regarding MB Deluxes not being sealed properely.

The only reason I'm trying to draw your comments is because I read your favourable review of them.

Cheers,

Mick

Well,I need to answer a few things. First,yes my beard is getting Santa like ( I have every version of the X-Mas Carol ever made-I would LOVE to be Santa) and I am gaining weight to match it LOL !

And the dirty bite is in part - (1) I have the Pignose turned about halfway up,it is on the edge of feedback (2) I am using a Shaker dynamic but a Bottle O Blues will do almost the same thing (3) I am using a Hardwood Harmonica ,the only thing that comes close in sound is the Turbo Twenty . (4) And that is it,I have never thought of myself as having good tone ,it could be a WHOLE lot better as long as I have been playing.

And to the Marine Band Deluxe= It was not long after my review that the wooden dividers did this arch past the mouth piece,to the point where I don't like to play it anymore.Hohner needs to get their s%#t together for sure. I cannot go back and change my review,my Dell Computer crashed with all the folders for my site.My son and daughter work for Apple Computers and I now have one and have not taken the time to figure out how to save pages off my site and convert them to MAC.

I DO realize I am not a polished player that can play in a lot of different positions,I am OLD SCHOOL but I am trying to get better every day. A lot of you guys are better but I love the harmonica and everything about it! I have a bit of a learning disability in some areas and just could never grasp learning to read music and a lot of people have trashed me for it but we are all different in this life and I am just trying in my own way to make music.

PS= I do love the Marine Band Deluxe in the way it plays so great (the reedplates) but the comb thing is a bust,make them plastic?

Thanx to everyone for checking out my videos.
