Re: [Harp-L] Ode Challenge Revisited (was Augmented)

When you speak of the 'side' keys on a sax, I take it you are  
referring to the 'duplication note keys'? (For those who don't know,  
between the upper end of the lower case notes and the lower end of  
the upper case notes, you have to use the octave shift bar. In that  
area several notes are duplicated and you can hit them in either  
case. Conclusion...yes, they DO sound a little different, but an  
experienced player can smooth this over with their embochure.

Harmonica content? Well, same goes for harp. Picking tunes that  
specifically target the bends in holes 1,2,3 will (hopefully) get you  
proficient in holes 1,2,3. No mystery there. S'like anything else we  
do. Handwriting, speaking, riding a bike.
