PowerDraw tuning is a combination of standard Richter (holes 1-6) and PowerBender (holes 7-10). The Best of Both Worlds! It's easy to learn because: The bulk of the harp (holes 1-6) stays exactly the same as normal, so there is no need to re-learn anything in that comfortable range you're so accustomed to.

Its extra bendability makes this an ideal harp for rock tunes, allowing one to really wail on the 6 and 7 blow notes.

Filip finds the Overblow Booster very useful for getting overbends on low-key harps (like this Low Eb Manji), which is normally very difficult. Apologies for the poor sound from my phone! Check out Filip's website for more of his music.
