Hi I decided to share this with you as a follow up of my PowerBender trials asked by ”ridge” after I shared my first PB+ song ”Miss Big B and Me” here.
Maybe the big difference when playing Eleanor Rigby on diatonic is that with PB tuning you don't need overblows like with Richter tunig. I tune my harps by
myself but - and this is the most important message here: You can buy those if you want to try new tuning. Go to http://brendan-power.com/ page.A verygood quality PB harmonica costs only 27 euros comig from Sanghai to
my door in Finland (normal Hohner or Suzuki costs over 50 euros here in Finland).PB+ means that I tune the third hole blow reed one whole step higer by
removing a bit material from the reed. So I get there the same note than 3th hole drew reed by two step bending. I feel it quite useful. Try that and if you are not happy
with it you can lower it back by following my video ”Tuning the reeds lower”:

Nice one Maraboy - Impressive multi-tasking there! Maybe your next song should be "Staying Alive"... :-) I must admit I do the same; it's especially good for traffic jams.

We just had a lively discussion about playing harp while driving.
