RE: [Harp-L] resonance and higher key harps



I've always based my key choice on what key the band said the next song was
in. :-)  I too believe you should learn to play well in all keys.

And I too like the F harp...but I don't think I speak in that key, or at
least I hope I don't.  I have so much fun playing shuffles in C (harp in F).
