Re: Chord (another digression)

[Barry Schaede <barrys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I knew one of the parts was bass but I think there's more than that going 
on.  The chugging part almost has to be chord.  I bought a Vineta 
thhinking that's what he was playing (chord and bass) wrong.  BTW I 
bought the Murphy CD today from Farrel.  I did ask him why the demand for 
Eb.  His thought was to play in Eb without the slide.  He says he sells 
more Eb's than B's.  Hohner makes the B not the Eb.  Farrell makes the Eb 
by taking a D bottom plate (Eb) and an E top plate (E) and combining them 
in a new harmonica.  They then flip the slide over so it's upside down.  
He said that the new Herring 48's were coming in next week and there 
would be Eb's for half the price of the converted Hohners. (I know Jack 
Ely already mentioned this)  When I mentioned my dislike of Herrings due 
to the clicky valves he agreed with me and suggested replacing them with 
Hohner valves.  Has anyone out there had any success getting valves from 
Hohner?  I haven't had any luck.  I've always talked to June. Mr. Farrell 
suggested trying Cissy or Rick Epping.  FJM
