Re: Get a chromatic?/

[Philharpn@xxxxxxx]

Actually, you don't need big pockets. Just buy one of those $25 camera cases 
and stack the crhomes on end with their key markings on either end of the 
cases or harps so whichever end is up shows the key. If you get the right size, it 
will hold about a dozen easily.

Failing that, stuff a C crhome in your shirt pocket. Everybody I talk to (who 
wonders why I insist of playing one of the old fashioned harps with missing 
notes) says you can play ever key on a C chromatic, no trouble at all. Just 
grab a C chrome, then.

Norton Buffalo uses his shoulder to push in the button on his chromes. Give 
that a try.

Or adjust the steering wheel so you can steer with your knees.

But I can't carry all those chromatics in my pocket -  in fact even one 
chromatic
doesn't fit very well in my pocket.   And I can't drive around in my car and 
play along
with any song that comes up in the radio -- but maybe some of you chromatic 
players
have mastered the art of one-handed button pushing playing while driving 
better than I.
