"When I'm Sixty Four" on SCT 128 harmonica

I retuned the SCT128 chromatic harmonica from slightly wet to completely dry tuning. A little more tweaking is needed to finally eliminate the tremolo effect.

Shown here is my method of tuning. I use a tuning cap, a digital tuner app in my iphone calibrated at A4=444, a lap top with the spreadsheet of all the notes and reading, a mini drill with a rotary file, blade to support underside of reed, a mini wrench to align reed, a bent screwdriver to adjust gap and a mini chisel to clean reed slots.

Tombo S-50 chromatic harmonica playing "Cry me a river" in G
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 11 lety
I like this harmonica because it is unique. Unlike most common chromatic harmonicas it has no slider to change the tone from major to flat or sharp. The notes are arranged in piano-like fashion, with the major notes played on the lower level of the mouthpiece and the sharps and flats played on the upper level. It takes a little patience to remember when to tilt the harmonica and when not to. An...
Tombo Unica Formal Chromatic harmonica - testing it with "Misty" in Eb
zhlédnutí 11KPřed 11 lety
I was intrigued by Tombo Unica Formal with its slider after having tried the Tombo S-50, a chromatic harmonica without the slider. The construction is very unique because the notes are arranged in piano-like fashion, the lower notes are like the white keys while the upper notes are like the black keys. I'm still at a loss in saying that it can compare with my Hohner Super 64x.

    Osnovnu stvar kod ove hromatske niste pokazali a to je veoma bitno za sviranje i za lepotu zvuka.Niste pokazali sta se nalazi ispod glavne livene resetke.Da li ispod nje pistoje dve tanke fiksne resetke sa prorezima u obliku kvadrata i treca slajd resetka koja se krece levo desno izmedju te dve.Ako ne maju tri resetke ispod glavne prednje livene i deblje resetke, onda je to tehnicki nazadnije resenje od sistema kao sto je Hohner 270 super hromonika 12/48.Istu slabost i tehnicki promasaj ima i obicna hromatska Hohner 280 /64 sa 16 rupa.Kod tog modela slajd resetka klizi ispid livene resetke cihe dno struze i tu propusta dosta vazduha, sto nije slucaj kod starog modela Lary Adler 16/64.sve nove hromatske zasnovane sa takvim resenjem su dosta losije, kao i kod Suzukija isto.Napredak je kod otvora na resetki sa prednje strane jer su glatki i zaobljeni i ne skidaju nista sa jezika i delova usana i ne ostecuju krageve usana i delove obraza.Naravno da govorin o tehnici sviranja blokade jezikom sa istovrenenim sviranjem ritmike i akorda.Tada je harmonika duboko u ustima.Svira se u terci tj. Dvoglasu i to lici priblizno zvuku prave harmonike.Sve druge tehnike na jedan ton su samo lep zvuk klavirne melodike i to nikako za mene nije usna harmonika.Druga bitna i pogresna stvar za sviranje puno vrsta muzike jeste raspired rupa u cik cak redosledu sto je isto lose resenje u pogledu lakoce sviranja u dvoglasu i terci.Ostavite apsolutno sve kao na Hohner 270 12/48 samo zaoblite ivice svih rupa, unapredite ventile da se manje lepe za plocu pogotovo unutrasnji ventili i dobicete , uz druga napredna resenja koja ste nesporno postigli, najbolnu hromatsku harmoniku.Ovo je upuceno vise proizvodjacima nego sviracima usne.Nafam se da cu uspeti bar nekom od njih da jos detaljnine objasnim sve ovo.

    Napidacu nadam se ovo sve Hohneru i imam predlog kako da se kao kod Dallape, Guerrini, Paolo Soprani i desetine drugih italijabskih harmonika napravi i tremolo i hromatska pa ako hocete i diatonka za balkansku etno, folk , zabavnu, i starogradsku muziku i balade, dalmatinsku, i druge zanrove naprave harmonike sa boljim resenjem ,imajuci u vidu moje bas dugogodisnje iskustvo iako priznajem nisam svirao 30 godina od 1986 do 2016.Kako sam amaterski svirao melodiku Klavijature i harmoniku , tako sam taj zvuk pokusao da prenesem na usnu harmoniku.I posle tolike pauze jos ucim i napredujem po malo iako godine cine svoje.71 godina plus prelezana korona sa upalom pluca.Pozdrav i podrska za sve svirace usnih harmonika.Mi smo jedan tim.Svedok sam da se sve vise ljudi sa Balkana intetesuje 2:07 za usnu harmoniku.A za ptetpostaviti je da ih ukupno ima bez Turskog dela u svetupteko osamdeset miliona.Ko svira tudju muziku je sasvom ok jer svet je povezanini nego ikad a ko ne zna muziku svog podneblja ,pored svih drugoh , je zabrinjavajuce.Ja sam do svoje 22 godine iskljucivo svirao domacu zabavnu rok i pop muziku ,dok nisam otkrio svu lepotu i bogatstvo melodije, harmonije i ritmike balkanske etno muzike, koja je raritet u svetskim razmerama.Onaj koga ne ineresuje sopstvena muzicka etno i folklorna bastina, nema moralno pravo da se ineresuje ni za bilo koji drugi kulturoloski pa i neki drugi aspekt naseg bitisanja na ovim prostorima.Cast izuzecima kojima bog nije podario sluh ,ali bsr mogu da cuju one sa sluhom.Pozdrav svim usnim harmonikasima svih stilova.

    Did you find that the tuning stayed the same for the most part after you reassembled the harmonica? I have heard the tuning will change because of the individual chambers of the CBH2016 design. I have a few and have repaired chromatic harmonicas before, just not this design. Did you buy that tuning cap?

    swan 1664 has plastic comb...does it means that i can rinse it in the water? i am doing this with diatonic harmonica's that have plastic comb (hohner special 20 and tombo's lee oskar) but when i did it with tombo s-50 (slideless chromatic) it went completely out of tune and some of the holes stopped working on a draw, no sound at all...does it mean that chromatic harmonicas for some uncanny reason can't be rinsed in the water even if they have a plastic comb? yesterday evening i've rinsed swan 1664 in the water and for some minutes it sounded like horror movie, pretty much the same as this tombo s-50 that was completely destroyed by one and only one water rinse...however, by the morning the swan 1664 recovered...does it mean that i can continue rinsing swan 1664 in the water on a regular basis? is there anything that i could do to recover this slideless tombo s-50 chromatic harmonica that became useless trash after just one rinse in the water...i've no idea how could one rinse completely destroy the harmonica that has plastic comb...

    Interesting. But rather than going back to repairing a broken wooden comb, why not get a new plastic comb from Hohner? My 280 has a plastic comb. Or maybe find a 3rd party company that makes wood composit/resin combs. That way, a new comb makes the harmonica better than new.

      Good idea also. A wooden comb feels so much better to me though😣 Plus I can't even make myself follow the whole take-apart-procedure, to get into the comb, just the reeds. And then I realised hole number 2 had a crack...... 😭 Ugh.
