Jazz Blues Harmonica - Check it out!
https://youtu.be/287gr7KgARE
I’ve purchased two Seydel Classic 1847’s in PB tuning over the last two months and these things are becoming my preferred harp. They’re all I ever reach for these days!
I’ve found that they excel at jazz and blues. I’m coming from a guitar background and I’ve started seeing Richter tuning as an open tuned guitar and PB tuning as standard tuning. This is a short clip of me playing a jazz blues which is so much more possible for me in this tuning. Also, I’ve found that I can actually emulate all of my favorite B.B. King, Freddie King, Clapton, and other guitar oriented licks on the the PB tuning as well.
Super happy with these PB harps. I’m pretty sure they’re my standard harp from here on out. If you haven’t tried them out, you should.
The only thing I think they lack is certain tongue blocking rhythm patterns (too much inhaling) and they don’t do tongue slapping very well. (The surrounding notes don’t always work - just like standard tuned guitar. Richter is like an open tuned guitar in which you can hit all the surrounding notes and they’ll sound good)

I like it, thanks for sharing.
I've just bought the full set of Brendan's Power Benders but current projects haven't given me much time to fully explore them.
I also bought a set of Lee Melody Makers to start the journey on alternate tunings which I'm now using for a couple of numbers

If you're getting the tone YOU want to hear from those harps, that's the key. Some players go through a lot of harps searching for that. Nice going.
