Mick: That's much better use of the technique. Lower register.

Hey Phil,
 Thanks for taking the time to read the post. I get your point. 
Myself, I'm not much interested in the high end of harp. But a 
sustained note anywhere on the harp during a solo usually creates a 
nice tension and release effect. Here's another example of circular 
breathing:Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeAb0JqMVgM.Â; It's a very 
nifty instrumental in which Jim pretends he is a Hammond organist. Our 
fearless leader, fjm, was curious aboutÂhow theÂHammond effect was 
achieved...if anyone can supply an answer. The circular breathing 
starts shortly after the one minute mark.
