Re: [Harp-L] VIDEO- Harmonica trio featuring Antonio Serrano

yes, i also find it disturbing that more harmonica players do not recognize the genius of antonio serrano.

I guess the blues and reed plate thickness is more of a priority to the masses. Few have put in the time into the instrument as Antonio has done. As far as the advancement of the harmonica, it seems to be a niche unattainable concept except for the rare exceptions.
