I've released a video demonstrating a Hohner Thunderbird low low G tuned
to Major Cross. You can see it at https://youtu.be/CysC1DMORUo
The Joe Filisko inspired Hohner Thunderbird harmonica was released in
2012, and is a great low instrument. However "bending" the low notes is
beyond most players, myself in particular, so melodies are challenging.
Solution: retuning the Thunderbird, in my case to Major Cross tuning.
This was done for me by the master Australian harmonica customiser Neil
Graham. This "Major Cross" Thunderbird solves the low note bending
problem, and works well for melodies, octave doubling and bass lines.
Check it out.
