Re: [Harp-L] Next Harp - Availability of low keys

[Ben Bouman <fitgo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I often sell a low E to players who use it for playing in 1st position. Many blues songs are in E so a low E is indeed very nice to have!!

Low E combined with my X-tra set-up is easy to bend/blowbend which is nice for 1st position licks. And they are good for people who also want the overblows/overdraws :-))

And... I offer unlimited guarantee and service on my beta-harps....

These are great harmonicas, but if you're not ready to pop $125-ish for a Thunderbird, you can pick up a Seydel Blues Session for $42, a Session Steel for $60, or an 1847 for $90.

> It has just occurred to me that it might be a good idea that more of the harp companies should make a Low E for those that wish to play cross harp to get B.  Yes, I know B Major isn't a popular key, but still it would be a nice option, especially considering that a standard E harp can be shrill.
