RE: Re Calling all piggyback players!

[Nicolas Fouquet <bbhcfr@xxxxxxxx>]

Yeah!! I was using that technic when I was busking in Galway (Ireland): playing jigs and reels and hornpipe with a paddle weel tremolo harp.
That was great fun and the people enjoyed it. I could change the key and make the theme less repetitive!! But sometimes, at the end of the day, I was getting tired and then, It happened that I take the wrong key! Lol

Wow, I'm really glad to see so many of you admitting to this
technique - I thought I was "cheating"!

It isn't quite the same thing, but if you want two harps of different keys 
at the same time you can use a double-sided Hohner Echo tremolo. With a bit 
of practice you can get very nifty at flipping it over just for a short 
phrase in a modulated key, then back again. I suppose you couldn't really 
call this piggybackin' though - the piggies are sort of snout-to-snout....or 
is it **s to **s........
