[Harp-L] Re: Middle C

["Jonathan Metts" <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Middle C corresponds to blow-4 on a regular C diatonic and blow-4/5 on a 
regular C chromatic.  You can easily check this yourself (and any other 
note) with a cheap keyboard.

George Brooks and Michael Rubin preach this all the time, but it's worth 
repeating to anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of taking a lesson with 
them: any serious musician should own a cheap keyboard.  It's as essential 
as a chromatic tuner or metronome, and you can find one for under $50.  In 
fact, most electronic keyboards have built-in metronomes.  You don't have to 
be learning piano to make good use of a keyboard.
