Re: [Harp-L] A question

["Chris Michalek" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

if you're going to une overblows then make sure the harp is equal
tuned.  Just tuned and compromised tunings don't work well for obing.
The OBs tend to naturally come out on the flat side there's no reason
to hinder this with a harp thatalready has flat notes...
