Re: [Harp-L] Suzuki ProMaster Video Up (valved ProMaster inquiry)

[Mike Fugazzi <mfugazzi67@xxxxxxxxx>]

Would this type of harp allow for more slide guitar like phrasing and playing?  I am really interested in trying one, but don't know if I can go without the extra pitches I can get with over bends.
 
So for those on the list...is it possible to bend a valved harp to those notes????  Any more vavled ProMaster users out there?  For the record I would love to try a Fabulous.  I am excited for their release to the public!!!

A new video featuring the Suzuki valved diatonics (Promaster MR350-V
and
MR350-GV) is up:

These are the only commercial half-valved diatonics available. For
those
not familiar with them, the valving allows bending expression, vibrato
etc on the lower blow and upper draw notes (impossible on an unvalved
harp), in addition to the normal draw and blow bends. The video
demonstrates these features.
