Tell me about that harp.  Is it's notes arranged one octave lower than a
regular A diatonic, or is an octave added onto the low end?  Sometimes I 
feel like a dose of oxygen after playing a leaky Marine Band A, and can't 
imagine what would be required on an even lower noted harp!

BTW, having just reread my original "Vibratos, Etc." post, how d'ya like
the new spelling I gave "rhythmically"?  2 outta 3 times yet!  I guess 2AM 
was quitting time for half my brain.

Look at the bright side.  At least now the archives will have something for 
reference.  Not that I'd ever do that, of course...I'd much rather try to 
remember all this and rewrite it all over again!  >;)  Incidentally, it's
preferable to me that someone refers me to the archives (with hints where
to look) than to be totally ignored in my query.  While others send their
responses right away onlist, I can peruse the files for answers, maybe the
ones I seek.  Then, I can add to that the info from Harp-Lers who chose to
answer directly.  Best of both worlds, it seems to me!

Till next,
