This is a chromatic Larry Adler in C.



[jaimealextube]

hi, I´am glad you appreciate, just because It´s really amazing, lovely .. without words.

Larry use to play with Hohner chromatic harmonics and at the time, 1989, it could be only two:

Hohner 270 standard or Hohner Larry Adler.

The Larry Adler model was at end a 270 standard made with Larry Adler opinion. Best regards,

Part Two of my answer: -

I still say, “a genius but not a nice person”.

I have spoken to many people that knew him when he taught in a collage in Barry near where I live and they all say the same.

I could go on but I would only get deeper into the subject, in my show I tell my audience “If I live to be a 100, I will never speak to anyone the way Larry Adler spoke to me”, don’t forget it was me that made the effort to go and see him.

Regards,

Derek

Having listened to him on many occasions and at the time, followed his career for more than 50 years and the fact that I had got down on one knee to touch his hand, and the fact that I have done countless shows for elderly people I still stand by what I’ve written.

The facts about the “Lady Looking After Him”, study his life and you will find he had countless ladies looking after him, so derive from that what ever.

@Karvindon did it ever dawn on you that he might not have either heard or understood what you said? It's clear by your description (lady looking after him) that he was elderly and there was noise all around, right? I've seen videos of him playing in his later years and it seemed from those that he actually did have some hearing difficulties. For all you know he might have thought you were asking something of him and - given that he was 'older', you might cut him some slack rather than judging.

damn larry adler is the harmonica king he makes the harmonica sound like more than just an instrument you blow into people probably think the harmonica is easy to play in fact it's quite difficult i know because i actually play the harmonica and although anybody can probably learn it but not everybody can master is like adler did that's the difference but one day i want to be considered a harmonica master and then i can be happy that i achieved my goal in life..

[Karvindon]

I could go on but unlike him I am a polite person.

Re: - “A statement to a dead man who cannot respond” if we don’t say what we feel and what we say is the truth then something is wrong with man kind.

Sorry about having to read this reply upside down.

[Karvindon]

I knelt there waiting for him to say thank you or words to that effect. All he said was “Don’t bother me now I’m going to bed”.

If I live to be 100 I’ll will never speak to anyone the way Larry Adler spoke to me.

So I say again, a genus but not a nice person to know.

[Karvindon]

At the end of the show I asked the lady looking after him if I could say hello to him, she said OK. I got down on one knee by the side of his chair and told him I was so please to meet him. I told him how I had followed his career, I told him I had never met a genus and I was meeting one now. I told him I play most of his music, in fact I couldn’t have been more polite.
