Subject: Re: [Harp-L] volume control
I believe the player should be a natural volume control knob. It's
time to explore the world of harmonica tone that comes from less
than "balls to the wall" energy. As a matter of fact, the whole
pallette of colors will emerge when backing off. Eventually you may
find that most of what you play can be done with much less force
and much more finesse and give you much more tone shading.
Also, at least on the 1 mic I have w/volume control, it changes the
tone. When I back the volume pod down just a hair, the tone loses
some of its high end, a sound that I enjoy. Unfortunately, it's
easy to accidentally move that control when playing, causing
changes in the tone that are unpredictable.
