you're playing amplified Chicago blues on an ET harp - or listening to someone else do it - how
can you stand it?

I can't stand it. but that's just me. More than that I think you cannot really understand what's at the core of this style unless you spend some time playing a 7 limit JI harmonica. It's a process product thing. The 12 ET tuning creates a very different process than 7 limit JI. The results are radically different in a very subtle way. Wana play like Lee Oskar then try 12 ET, Kim Wilson, definitely 7 limit JI. fjm
