Re: [Harp-L] rapid fire notes

[Pierre <slavio@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps its just a matter of practice but seems to me "tuk ka tu" involves 
(transition from tonging (tu) to throating (ka)) to much movement to really 
go fast. Although not the same the following would be faster:

ta-ta-ta
tuk-tuk-tuk
kak-kak-kak
hak-ka-tu
ka-ka-tu - probably best
...
