www.patmissin.com updates What's new at www.patmissin.com http://www.patmissin.com 31 Jul 2026, 20:09:36 EST New page: "Are You Sure You Invented That? (Slight Return)" Another old patent for a seemingly unoriginal idea. https://patmissin.com/odds-ends/sure2.html 19 Jul 2026, 16:16:04 EST Audio downloads (hopefully!) fixed Some settings had been changed which made several audio files inaccessible. Hopefully, this is now fixed, but please let me know if you encounter any problems. https://patmissin.com/contact.html 29 Jun 2026, 17:16:56 EST Updates page working again (again!) Apparently, it was down again for a while, but should be working fine again now. Hopefully, it will stay that way this time. https://patmissin.com/updates.html 25 Jun 2026, 16:46:16 EST Minor update to "The Many Faces of the Marine Band" Added a few more examples. https://patmissin.com/ffaq/MB.html 09 Jun 2026, 19:57:16 EST Minor Update to "What is a solo tuned diatonic?" I was listening to some early J. Geils Band stuff for the first time in quite and I realised that "Homework" features a solo tuned diatonic. I can't believe I'd never noticed that. https://patmissin.com/ffaq/q41.html 30 Apr 2026, 15:59:51 EST Update to "How about an electric harmonica, or even a MIDI harmonica?" Added a brief paragraph about the Tonova Diatonic.10. https://patmissin.com/ffaq/q27.html 07 Apr 2026, 16:33:47 EST New page- "Did Sonny Terry ever use tongue blocking?" The answer may come as a surprise to some. https://patmissin.com/ffaq/q43.html 07 Apr 2026, 15:31:47 EST Minor update to "Æolina" A couple of small edits and additions, plus a broken link fixed. https://patmissin.com/history/aeolina.html 29 Mar 2026, 16:09:43 EST Update to "Johann Wilde" I have pretty much come to the conclusion that the alleged Kratzenstein/Wilde link is yet another red herring in free reed history. https://www.patmissin.com/history/wilde.html 28 Feb 2026, 17:09:43 EST Minor update to "Claviola" Minor edits, plus some additional links added. https://www.patmissin.com/history/claviola.html 18 Jan 2026, 17:07:56 EST Updates page working again Not sure if this is a temporary or a permanent solution. If you don't see any updates on this page, it's most likely because you don't have Javascript enabled in your browser. https://patmissin.com/updates.html 01 Jan 2026, 15:46:36 EST Happy New Year!
