The Suzuki SCX-64 is a very good instrument, I play it myself, it has a very good mouthpiece, it's sliding very good, the harmonica has a very natural sound, the sound of the lowest notes is very deep and wonderful.Thanks for your congratulations to Mayka.

Imust congratulate you and your wife on the arrival of your grandson,I am sure you are both very happy.my wife Miriam and myself have one son still single no grand.I admire the great effort you put into your playing,best of luck toyou.God bless John.
Thanks very much for your congratulations for the arrival of our newborn grandson "Lucas", indeed we both are very happy with him, because he is in good health,
we are very grateful.Lucas is the son of my daughter "Esther" and I have a granddaughter to, her name is "Britt", she is 1 year old now. Britt is the daughter of my son "Johan".
Your son is single, that can change very quickly, you never know!
Dear Chris, thanks for this great performance, my and my pals enjoyed it a lot. they where here some hours ago taking coffee at my place and we got to see the video all together, we all agree that you did a very good job and your wife too. We hope you and your family are doing fine and send friendly greetings from Mexico. Your friend, Ray.
Very nice to hear from you again, I hope you are well.
Thank you so much for your kind comment.
Indeed, I tried to play the song with passion and dedication, I like it that you are convinced of that, because your judgement is very important to me!
Your advices some months ago to use a metronome and to play a lot of scales as much as possible were and still are very useful.
I am practicing now for the cradlesong "Lullaby", for our newborn grandson
It's just our hobby you know, and we did our best. We are glad you enjoyed the video and my playing, thanks for your compliment for Mayka, my wife, I will let her know ofcourse.
We hope you have a wonderful holliday(time) together.
My next song will be the classical cradlesong "Lullaby", I will dedicate this song to our new born grandchild "Lucas", he was born a week ago.
I can only improve myself by practising, practising and practising again, I go for it,
Today I started practising my next song.
It will be the classical cradlesong "Lullaby"
from Johannes Brahms, Opus 49, No.4 - I will dedicate this song to my newborn grandson "Lucas", he is in good health and 9 days old now, we are verry happy and grateful.
Ron, when can we hear your song "America the Beautiful"? We are very curious.
Je regrette, je ne parle pas bien francais, excusez moi s'il vous plait.
Merci beaucoup pour votre repondre et compliment, c'est tres jolie que vous aimez notre chanson, parce que vous etes un grand musicien a votre harmonica chromatique, c'est vraie!!
Qui, c'est une jolie melodie.
Je travail chaque jour 2 ou 3 heures avec mon harmonica chromatique, vous me comprenez?
I practice 2 or 3 hours every day before I can play a song in the right way.
As you know, my wife Mayka has edited this video-presentation and I tried to play the Lovesong in the right way without any off-key notes and with a lot of feeling in the song, but that's very difficult.
My next song will be the cradle-song "Lullaby" from Brahms, I will dedicate this song to our new born grandchild "Lucas", the son and first baby of my daughter "Esther".
Thanks so much for your reply, yes, you are right, you can finally hear my version of The Rose, thanks for your kind comment, Mayka (my wife) and me did our best to make a nice video. You know me: I wanted to play the song without off-key notes and with a lot of feeling in my song, that's difficult!
Today I started practicing my next song "Lullaby", I will dedicate this song to my new born grandson "Lucas", he is 8 days old now, I am very proud of him.
Thanks very much for your quick response and kind comment, we like it that you enjoyed our video and my playing to.
I practiced 5 weeks, every day 2 hours, before I could play this song in the right way and I tried to play it with a lot of feeling, but that's very difficult for me.
Today I started practicing my next song: Lullaby from Johannes Brahms Opus 49 No 4, you know that song my friend, I will play this song for the baby-boy of my daughter.
Erg mooi, de opname is goed gelukt. Je hoort ook dat de kwaliteit omhoog is gegaan dankzij je nieuwe microfoon. Je hoort jezelf nu zelfs ademen. Goed gedaan, ik ken het orgineel niet echt goed en het genre ook niet maar ik vind het goed gespeeld. De video bewerking vind ik ook super. Mayka heeft dat wel heel snel geleerd, mijn complimenten. Ik wacht weer op je volgende video!!
De kwaliteit is dankzij de nieuwe microfoon inderdaad verbeterd. Mayka deed echt haar best er een mooie video-presentatie van te maken, is wel gelukt, vind ik.
Ik breng je complimenten aan Mayka over.
Heb vandaag al geoefend voor de volgende video. Ik ga een lied spelen voor mijn kleinzoon "Lucas", dat heet "Lullaby" een wiegelied van Johannes Brahms Opus 49, No 4.
Chris, thank you very much for your invitation. Your pure and simple sound with your harmonica sent us to the Spiritual World, which we need urgently. Congratulations for you and for your wife,too, who also did a fine job in the art of combining the sounds, words and pictures. This was really an honour for me to get your calling.
We were honoured that you took the time to give your reaction to our video and my playing, because I know you are a professional harmonica-player, and you are very busy with your great Band "Cordas Harmonicas"
We wish you a lot of success with all your performances in the future!!
In Oktober I will order your second CD Cordas
Harmonicas 2, we are very curious about your new coming CD 2.
A big hug for all the other musicians in your Band!
Hartelijk dank voor je complimenten, eigenlijk wil je het altijd nog net iets beter spelen, maar soms is voor mij de grens van het oefenen, na 5 weken 2 uur per dag zo ongeveer, bereikt.
Omdat ik deze song aan Mayka, mijn echtgenote heb opgedragen, was dat voor mij wel een goede reden om extra mijn best te doen.
Nogmaals dank voor je reaktie, en natuurlijk veel succes met de RMV.
Absolutely beautiful! I think this is my favorite song you have played so far. It is very well done and I love the pictures and wonderful video editing as well.
very good music and conversation, thanks from Turkiye..
