Re: [Harp-L] Turbo Slide Harmonica

["Daniel Perrone" <dany_perrone@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rick, what I like about this concept it's that there is no mechanical 
interference with the way a traditional harp works, only invisible magnetic 
forces on the stainless steel reeds. There is a PDF file on their website 
that goes into detail about the mechanics of the system. I understand that 
the little slide moves the magnets into position to work on the reeds. The 
magnets dampen the reeds, lowering their pitch. I think that by adjusting 
the distance of the magnets to reeds (with  a screw) you can then tune the 
bends very accurately.

I was very happy then when Dennis Cooper  wrote that he plans to incorporate 
this harp in his shows pretty soon. Hey, if "Harpmaniac" is taking it up 
there is something to it : )

Dennis, it would be very nice if you post a YouTube video someday demoing 
this harp.
