Re: [Harp-L] Next Harp

[George Miklas <harmonicat@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dennis,
E, B, and F# are all common keys in Contemporary Christian Music, which is
where I play a lot of crossharp.  Now it seems to depend upon keys that the
piano player is most comfortable playing.  There are times that the key
scheme is F/C/G, other times, it is Eb/Bb/F  ... pretty much depends on
other instrumentalists.  Frankly, it doesn't matter to me as my gig case
has all of them.

I agree with you... the stock Low E would be nice,

George
