Re: [Harp-L] "Take the A Train" Question



Robert,
Are you on chromatic?  Pick your easiest key.  Let's say it is F.  On a C
harp F is 12 position.  Find the harp where C is 12th position.  That would
be a G harp.  Buy a G chromatic.  Play as though you were playing a C harp
in F and it will sound like the key of C and be easy to play.
