      Ravi, there's some tradeoff between both in terms of air/effort needed to play. However, from my experience - having tried the top end valved to this new design valve-less, the difference is not much. Matter of fact, valve-less harmonicas are easier to maintain and no issues with temperature and humidity. The experts may disagree, but to each his own.
      In short, go for the valve-less new version. My best wishes to you.

    Hi! Do you have a very slight rattle sound when using slider up/down (instead of left/right)?
    I reassembled mine and now i have this kind of slight sound. I can't remember whether that sound was there before :p thanks! =)

    • @PremMenon
      @PremMenon  Před rokem +1

      Hi Alan! No, there's no movement perpendicular to the normal slide axis.

      Also slide noise is a documented issue with this version. Which is why the forerunner 2.0 was released now in all 12 keys. Unfortunately it doesn't come in a good case like this and cost more so I just got this original version.

      ​​@@kishascape I think, other than the slider noise reduction, there isn't any noticeable change in the newer version. So why paying MORE extra money to just reduce slider noise? Is it worth it?

      True. Unless one wants a second Harmonica.... probably in a different scale.

    Sir Kya ki recently hohner super chromonica ban rahi hai Kya usme bhi kneels hai ya screw

    • @PremMenon
      @PremMenon  Před 2 lety +1

      Ashutosh Ji, the Deluxe model has screws. The non-Deluxe still has nails. If your budget allows buy the 270 Deluxe, or buy this no-valve Forerunner. Value for money. Comparable to the Suzuki Songstar - playability and comfort. Build quality is very good for ₹3200/- but can't match the Japanese Suzuki quality (naturally). Hope this helps. Best wishes to you.

      Yes. Forerunner is a premium model compared with the very basic Tower. My first was a Tower too.
      Forerunner is definitely made with better materials, and better quality control.
