Re: [Harp-L] Acoustic mic technique

["ben bouman" <fitgo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Another great harpplayer that uses some special cupping techniques is Joe 
Filsiko..
he sometimes closes of the first 6 to 7 holes of the harp completely and 
lets the sound come out the remaining part of the back that is left open(1/3 
of the harp).
This gives you a tremendous,big, almost hollow sound.
He once toldme that he sometimes closes of the the whole harp and let the 
sound come out of the side vents of the covers of a Marine Band.
I've done this a few times during studio recordings and this works very 
well.
