I have had one of Brendan Powers own make Power Draw Harps in A for a couple of weeks now and I am more and more taken with it.
The tuning is really great above hole 5 it just makes more sense and for the first time I am using 3 octaves in my playing!. I am finding myself accidently coming up with new licks which are pleasing to the ear and then going off down a different musical path which is great!
I hope Brendan starts making Marine Bands in this tuning coz that's the tone that does it for me, but in the meantime I am really having fun with the one I have which is very much like a Special 20.
Cheers Brendan you're a bloody Genius mate.

Power Draw doesn't show up in Altered States and its online representative Overblow.com--
I pinched this from Greg Jones' website, hope that's OK . . .

I've been playing with the idea of getting a PowerDraw - Seydel's Session Steel can be ordered in this tuning. As I understand it, Powerdraw's strong suit is blues whereas Powerbender is also suitable for other music styles.
