Re: [Harp-L] online scales, keyboard, or other noise makers???



Hi Mike
Several years ago I purchased a cool "hand-made" disc from the great fiddler, Darol Anger (David Grisman, Psychograss, etc.). It was called "Darol Anger's Digital Sruti Box - for intonation study and zoning out - drones in all keys". You can get his contact info from his website http://www.darolanger.com . This disc isn't listed on his site, but he may still make one up for you. I've had a lot of fun with this thing; you just make up your own "studies". Here's a description:
"This CD contains drones of 2 tonics an octave apart and a fifth, in just intonation. Each sequence lasts roughly six minutes and the CD plays through all the keys in order (the circle of 4ths starting from C). This kind of technique has been used in Indian classical music for hundreds of years to perfect and deepen intonation ability. One can play single notes, scales, exercises, double stops, or difficult passages, or fiddle tunes to these drones, or you can just play freely and wander among the many layered intonations of your mind and body. Suggested: major and minor thirds (high and low) and fifths (high and low). Take your time." Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Staggerin' Jim

I tried the Bendometer with mixed results. Does anybody know of a site where I can find sustained notes with names? I would like to work on some of my bends, inntonation, and my overall tone and am having a hard time finding a relatively cheap key board.

Namely, I am working on my draw three bends and playing scales without the inntonation or pitch sounding off/sticking out. I think playing them against an insturment like a keyboard would be a great deal of help.

Thanks!

Mike
