Re: Re: [Harp-L] a question

I think the distinction JR and Larry are trying to make is someone 
playing in ANY key on ANY harp, not in ANY key on ONE harp.  Tinus 
plays everything on a C harp.  I don't know Otavio's work that 
well.  I don't know too many people really trying to play any key on 
any diatonic harp.  I thought the original statement of this being a 
goal for people was overstated.  How many people really want to be 
able to play in any key on any harp?
