Dave Barrett interviewed me at SPAH for his excellent Harmonica Masterclass website: http://www.bluesharmonica.com. It's a fantastic resource for anyone interested in the diatonic harp.

In particular he asked me to explain some of my personal tunings. Here's the interview on the PowerBender:



There is lots more detail on the tuning plus ordering info for the book and PowerBendeer harps on my website: http://www.brendan-power.com (click the PowerBender link).

whew!
This guy can make that thing talk. Too good for me.
I got lost when he said "8 positions", from that point on I was dead meat.
It is truly marvelous to see what guys can do with that "silly" (who sez?) 10 hole harp

One of the first 2 or 3 articles I read on harmonica was by Brendan. It's still one of my favorites.

WOW! This stuff is just so cool--standard, but new--I'm having a great time working it out--I love how the PB tuning just pulls me on up into the higher end of the harp--I used to think that end was just an extended handle, but now it's becoming the most expressive end of the harp for me. . .
