 Can anyone advise me on how to remove a
 broken reed on a Manji harp?  I believe they are welded
 rather than fixed by rivets.  B

 A C diatonic thing tuned to Country
 tuning (draw 5 reed sharped 1/2 step)
 would give you D major in 3rd position,
 G major in 2nd position, and E
 minor in 5th position.  A G Melody
 maker would do something similar with a
 few more (A minor 7 chord)  and
 less (no 3rd for the e minor chord in the
 first octave) chord combinations.

 Using a reed wrench, swivel the reed
 from side to side.
 Same thing to remove a donor from
 another reed plate.

 While the harmonica world seems intent
 on starching fedoras and endlessly
 discussing matters of no musical
 consequence, we have Micael Bachman
 meticulously directing the nuance of
 Western Swing.
 
 But wait; he evidently isn't satisfied
 there, but instead does it on both
 chromatic and diatonic.   Very
 well done Mikael..
 
 This is musical creativity at its
 best.
 Our personalities don't lend themselves
 well to envy, but I have to admit
 it here.
 
 The music is outstanding and he - like
 so few harmonica players - fits in
 perfectly and captures the essence of
 the style.
 
 He has replaced the fedora with a nice
 felt Stetson and I like it.
 
 The joy of music is not arguing over
 which amp has more crunch or why we
 should modify the covers on a Lee
 Oskar; it is finding new and interesting
 ways to incorporate the infinite number
 notes we have available into an
 expressive musical passage.
 
 I'm going to have another listen .. and
 I tip my felt to Mikael.
 
 Hoping to hear more!

 Hi Folks;
 
 
 Thought I would throw this out to the
 Harp-L members to see if anyone has experience with hearing
 aids & hearing aids programs and how they might be
 helpful for a harp player.
 
 
 I am hearing impaired and have been
 wearing hearing aids for about 15 yrs. I just acquired new
 hearing aids that is capable of being programed for 4
 listening modes. I do have a program for music, which
 compresses sound and makes my listening a fuller and richer
 experience.
 
 
 My audiologist says I have an open
 channel for installing an additional program. I mentioned
 
 my harp playing and thought there might
 be some type of program out there that might be beneficial.
 I told her that I would check with the harp playing
 community, somebody might
 
 have some experience with this issue.
 
 
 So, I'm hoping that there might be some
 hearing aid wearing Harp-L members that might have some
 suggestions in this area? Can anybody steer me toward any
 particular programs?
 
 
 Jim

 I am on my third set of hearing aids.
 
 Some digital hearing aids have a low
 sampling rate and produce alias frequencies from the high
 overtones of the harmonica.  They sound terrible! 
 See Wikipedia on ?aliasing? for a more complete explanation.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliasing
 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliasing>  My
 current hearing aids aren?t too bad.
 
 IF you are like most older men, you
 have lost a lot of your high-frequency hearing.  Your
 hearing aids may have a lot of HF boost to help you hear
 vocal sibilants.  Ask your audiologist to program that
 extra channel with somewhat less HF boost.  Ideally,
 take your harmonica to his office and try different
 frequency curves to find the optimums. 
 
 If you are seeking an effect like an
 in-ear monitor, hearing aids may not be your best
 option.  I recommend the Studio 1 AM-300 Audio Monitor.
 It is a battery-powered unit that clips on your belt. 
 You use it with your harp mic.  You can plug in your
 headphones or ear-buds and set the volume level to suit
 yourself. It is an analog device so that aliasing isn?t an
 issue.

 I've had to stop playing in public
 because of my hearing loss. My hearing aids slightly distort
 the harmonica sound (making a blues harp sound like a
 tremolo). I still play at home quite enthusiastically and I
 can live with that. But the problem is that the hearing aids
 can't do for me what I used to do for myself, pick out and
 focus on another melody player in the band. Sound is just
 one big mush once you throw in the voluble pub chatter. It's
 a bit like taking a photo of a beautiful sunset. You saw the
 sunset and blanked everything else out. Your camera saw the
 telegraph pole, the power lines, the six other cars in the
 car park and the little brats with their dog just in front
 of you. Everything in the scene is equal as far as your
 camera is concerned. That's kind of what hearing aids do.
