Saturday Workshops, Acoustic Jam & Guest Star Performances
The centre piece of our weekend is Saturday 4th Feb, which features a programme of tutored workshops in the company of Mark Hummel, Ed Hopwood, John Cook, Paul Gillings and Richard Taylor. Mark and Ed take care of our intermediate and advanced players, while Paul and Richard guide beginners on a journey from opening the box to first bends. Richard also deconstructs a William Clarke classic, while John Cook runs through his new ‘Signature’ tuning software. The afternoon provides discussion time with our Guest Artists in their panel session, before our popular acoustic jam. Saturday night is the climax of the day’s activities with our live show starring Ed Hopwood, Kat Baloun and Mark Hummel. Joining us exclusively from California, this is Mark’s first UK show in over twenty years.

SEYDEL VOLCANY CHROMATIC – THE ERUPTION OF SOUND. WE ALL KNOW THIS, IT’S BOILING INSIDE YOU, IT JUST WANTS TO GET OUT. A FEELING THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR 175 YEARS. WE FEEL THE SAME WAY AS THE MUSICIANS WHO PLAY OUR HARMONICAS. WHETHER ALONE, WITH FRIENDS OR ON STAGE, THERE IS A MOMENT YOU WANT TO EXPLODE. WHEN THE PASSION FOR YOUR MUSIC DRIVES YOU FORWARD, WHEN DRAW AND BLOW CREATE SOUNDS THAT OVERWHELM YOUR SURROUNDINGS. WHEN WE VENTURE INTO A NEW PROJECT, DEVELOP A NEW INSTRUMENT OR IMPROVE AN EXISTING ONE, WE ALWAYS THINK FIRST OF THE PEOPLE WE ARE DOING IT FOR. THE VOLCANY CHROMATIC DEMONSTRATES THIS IN AN IMPRESSIVE WAY: MANY OF THE COMPONENTS ARE MADE OF SOLID BRASS, POLISHED AND HIGH GLOSS SEALED - THE HEART OF THE INSTRUMENT, THE REED PLATESMADE OF GERMAN SILVER AND THE REEDS MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL.
