I can play fiddle tunes very fast on any scale harp, although I do find 2nd position blues unwieldy on a G scale. I'm not sure why Charlie chose those keys.

  I wonder why Charlie chose C into F. Maybe the quick response of the high-pitched F-harp non the fast melody stretch as opposed to a lower pitched (and somewhat more sluggish A harp. (I remember once trying to do it on a G harp and regretting the choice).

    It should be mentioned that fiddlers play this tune in E going to A.
