Fwd: [Harp-L] chromatic tone

[Harpmac01@xxxxxxx]

When playing octaves on the chromatic you will not really  escape that chrom 
sound, but through tongue blocking on the chrom you achieve a  pretty powerful 
tone which sounds better played through a nice tube amp,   also with the 
chrom there is a big part your tongue has to play in shaping notes  and for 
accenting but also for creating great effects just check out william  clarke's 
recordings its all in there especially his live/bootleg stuff. But  don't play to 
hard as this will fatigue the chrom fast, more try to play louder  through 
blowing and drawing softer acoustically, its old advice but so very  true!
