[Harp-L] Re: Harp-L Digest, Vol 66, Issue 53



Joe,

Could I suggest that you should perhaps do like I did in trying to find a teacher inn the Tor/Ham area and go to www.harmonica academy.com and sign on with Tony Eyers in Australia for approx $30.00 a year. He has the best structured prograamme anywhere of all the programmes I have looked at and his programmes make more sense than you will believe.

I have been working with his for about 2 months and am on my Freshman year and doing well with his work. Give it a try you will really enjoy it.

Geoff

PS sign up for 2 years just to make sure you get the programme and we then c=an compare notes

Hi Jens-

I am surprised you got ghost notes in a speaker with a ribbed cone, such as
the Jensen reissue P12R.  I'm also surprised many harpers recommended a
speaker I think is quite shrill for harp.

I've also had problems with ghost notes, but only in speakers with a smooth
cone.  Doping did not solve the problem for me, but it may well do the trick
with your P12R.  It may also inhibit some of the icepick tonal tendencies of
the that speaker.

I had to try different speakers until I found one that worked in my
particular amp.  It turned out to be a vintage Mojotone; their version of
the P12R.  I also found that different mics produced different levels of
ghost notes.  Check this:  two bullet mics with substantially similar Shure
CM elements had profoundly different effecs on ghost notes.  One was
terrible and the other was good.

I'd like to hear others' experiences (and solutions) with ghost notes in
amps.
