[Harp-L] (no subject)



Hi, Angus.

The preponderance of music theory sites seem to agree that Middle C is C4.

To be sure, why not ask the Seydel folks whether for them C4 represents Middle C?

Amazing that I've met someone else who has Captain James' Reilly's book. He was the father of classical harmonica virtuoso Tommy Reilly.

This comes into the category of "Questions I wanted to know, but was ashamed
to ask". On my recently purchased electronic keyboard Middle C would be C3. However it has come to my notice that on a proper Grand Piano it would be
C4. In my sixty year old Captain James Reilly Chromatic Harmonica Tutor, I don't
think that all this C1 and C2 stuff had even been invented. None of my
stuffy music theory books are much help either. I would not want to be embarrassed by getting a harmonica an octave higher
than I expected when ordering using  Seydel's harmonica configurator. Beannachtai Aongus Mac Cana
