Brad Harrison, Custom Harmonicas vs Stock Harmonicas

[HarPlayer]

WoW !!!!!!! I nerver heard of Brad Harrison until now ; ) I thought I was listening to Joe Flisko : ) I am going to get my custom harmonica A.S.A.P 

[EBsinging1]

I am from Shirland school and we came and visited u.. that was incredible! I <3ed seeing how everything was put together.. my favorite was the tuner thing.. i play piano so that was interesting how the sharper is got the more it moved to one side and when it was flat it went to the other side.. it was crazy how small the reeds were... i thought that going to harrison harmonics was the best part of the whole trip! thank you so much for letting us meet u!

If you won't children to keep the harmonica alive in their world, it's just has to be at a price that poor people can afford.

[ZackPomerleau]

@slaytondrum Agreed.

[Ledvolta]

I gave a bad rating by accident, sorry. :)

[nighttrainjames]

@Ledvolta I reversed it for ya :)

[sonnyrunner]

harmonicas are harmonicas i love them all, even the bad ones.

[jws54]

what a sound, I used to soak mine to get resonance, they did not last long....

[ZackPomerleau]

Funny, I'm like that too, I always grab the behind one. I look forward to receiving mine!!!

[diabluz]

thanks for the info man.

[ZackPomerleau]

DUDE Brad! This freaking rocks! I cannot believe you PLAY that good and fast with a block! I love it man! Can't wait to talk to you!

Eb is a real MOJO key in my book. I own a special 20 in Eb. The first time I blew the Eb I was blown away with how it sounded. Custom harps seem to be where it is really happening. I currently only own one actual custom in a Low D. I plan to learn to do my own customizing but will be buying some other custom harps in the future. Standard out of the box models tend to be very disappointing once you have experienced the difference a specially modified harp can give your playing.

So that's 3..1..2.

Wha? No weirdos calling? Ah, dangit. Guess I'll just have to use the website then.

So are the customs really so much fun to play.

Alright, so I already know they are since I have a Spiers in D...but it has almost ruined my ability to enjoy playing my other harps. Actually, what it taught me was that I didn't actually *enjoy* playing my other harps, because...you guessed it...

...they just weren't that much fun to play.

Searching for loose change now until I find $150.

[elkriverharmonicas]

Weirdos call yet? ;)

[harrison733]

Hey Thanks Giles. Yeah, kind of important to be able to play afew different styles, so that the builder can zero in on many different types of plays styles.

Thanks for the kind words!

[worldofnana1]

jason Ricci is a lot better.

[pepperoni100]

Wow Brad!! I always knew I loved you....but now you are my new idol!! You are truly amazing! I would love to hear you play more frequently. You should put out some more videos of yourself playing your harps so people can get the true effect that can be acheived.

[toamille]

Loved it!! do another one.

[HendrixIsGod47]

what a vibrato u have!! howlin wolf is being channeled through u

[harrison733]

Thanks alot, means a lot to me! Next one will be using my new design harmonica(s) with my own reeds, made right here in my shop. That is why I had to put a hand over the lens. The reed machine and other machine were right behind the camara. Stay tuned!!

Thanks for the props!

[elkriverharmonicas]

I should mention that'd be the first U.S.-made harmonica since the Zoboomafu (I have kids, that's how I know who they are) Kratt Bros. granpappy was slapping together the tin sandwiches. That's way cool.

[Comuna]

i want one of those...how much?
