Kindle version of your books, and downloadable mp3s and videos
Winslow, I was thinking of purchasing the Kindle version of both of your "for dummies" books from Amazon, and I was wondering if I would be provided instructions for downloading the companion mp3s and videos? Some of the reviewers indicated that they had issues with that, however they might have been old reviews, and if any problem did exist, perhaps it has been rectified. Please advise.
Thanks
The information on how to get the audio and video for the books is there in the text but isn't as easy to find as it should be.
For Harmonica For Dummies, Second Edition, you can listen to or download the audio, and watch the video and animation at:

For the first edition or for Blues Harmonica For Dummies, you can download the audio files at:https://wiley.mpstechnologies.com/wiley/BOBContent/searchLPBobContent.do
Some of my students started out with the Kindle version but ended up buying the physical book because content is easier to find when you have actual page numbers, and because sometimes an open book is easier to deal with than a scree, especially of you have to click to open a tabbed tune that, in the book, is embedded in the text.
EastTop is making some pretty good chromatics and getting better, but I still feel Suzuki is better overall. It's hard to go wrong with the SCX-48, and quality of build and finish seem very consistent. EastTop has good build, but finish is not always what it should be – buzzing valves, burrs on reeds that make them go suddenly sharp when you raise the volume – things that are easy to fix if you know how, but are annoying in a new instrument. That said, I have a brand new EastTop EAP-12 Virtuoso Chromatic Performer that I'm really enjoying - in tune, smooth slide action, bright sound and fast response - and no annoying problems.
experience with Eastop chromatics? I'm seriously considering a Suzuki SCX48, but have heard some good things about the Eastops.
