Dear master Dming, does JDR EVO have 14 and 16 hole ? Where can I order ?I really enjoy your video. It's very informative. I am looking for not too expensive 12 or 16 hole chromatic. Thanks.

Hi Raymond, at the moment, JDR EVO doesn't have 14 and 16-hole models.
For JDR EVO-0648 and/or 0648s, you may order from us. You may choose the original version or adjsuted version. If you are interested, feel free to send us your mailing address and the model that you want for an accurate quotation for the item and the shipping fee.
For not-too-expensive 12-hole: JDR EVO 0648 and 0648s are good choices in my experience.
For a not-too-expensive 16-hole: You may consider Suzuki SCX64.

Dear Maestro DMing.
Thank you for sharing your extensive expertise and experience. I watch all your videos and keep my calendar updated on your upcoming events. My only wish is to watch your gapping technique at normal speed. You adjusted gapping on few new chromatics, including recent Hohner Xpression model. Unfortunately the process of gapping was edited in speedup mode. I was hoping to see gapping process in this new video, but... I still hope that one day you'll release video in which you can show us how you perform gapping adjustments at normal speed.
Thank you very much for your kind sharing.

The steps for adjusting the gapping are the same as many unboxing videos I've done before. You can simply refer to other unboxing videos to find the answer.

I am a beginner and would like to buy my first chromatic one. I like the Hohner Discovery 48 and Hohner Chromatica 270/48 C-Deluxe. I am left handed. Which one would you prefer? Or do you prefer another one?

The airtightness and tone of the Hohner 270/Deluxe are significantly better than the Discovery 48.
