Re: [Harp-L] Chromatic vs Diatonic

[Chris Michalek <groovygypsy@xxxxxxxxx>]

that's fantastic playing but I do not find it as expressive as the diatonic.

Maybe its because the chrom is too even from note to note?

I don't know, there is only one Chromatic player that really floats my
boat and that's william galison.
