Valving takes a couple weeks. Or consider the PT Valved Session Steel Model.

By placing a valve over the opposite reed slot we are trying to manipulate we can do additional blow and draw bends. For instance, by putting a valve over the 6th hole draw reed slot we can now blow bend hole 6 to get the major 7th. Likewise, if we place a valve over the 7th hole blow reed slot we can now draw bend hole 7.
The end result is the same as learning over blows except that this is a technique that most diatonic harmonica players already possess. The term half valving refers to the fact that we put a valve over the first 6 draw reed slots and the last four blow reed slots. That totals 10 valves out of a possible 20, or half. While some of the valves produce a half step bend that is already on the harmonica, (i.e. 4th hole blow bend is the same as 3 draw) the ability to shade or round off every note on the diatonic gives the instrument increased emotional content.

seydel session steel

I have been playing for around two years and I'm almost 77. I've tried several different brands and seydel stainless steel reeds are the best. I'm still playing the first one I purchased. It sounds strong and beautiful, maybe It's indestructible. I'm still a novice? but I keep on trying.Doing business with Ron is always a positive pleasure I'll be purchasing more session steels Ron King
