Re: [Harp-L] Bending intonation...the regular kind

[Mike Fugazzi <mfugazzi67@xxxxxxxxx>]

I need to brush up on my vocab.  Is timbre the right word???  I hit the notes in pitch, but they stand out.  I know bent notes will, but the three draw seems to be too much.

The term "intonation" refers to being in tune. But you say you're "in
pitch", so I take it that you're in tune on your bends and that you
mean something else. What might that be?
