[Harp-L] Alex Paclin's video

[PT Gazell <pt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If my ears don't deceive me I believe Alex is playing a half-valved
diatonic. Alex commented to me at SPAH that this technique, that I play
exclusively, sounded so cool and sweet.  Alex must have valved a diatonic
after that and did some serious wood shedding. He also did a killer version
of "My Funny Valentine" on half-valved diatonic as well. Tremendous amount
of talent!
