Re: [Harp-L] Glenn's Paddy question

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ben makes a great point there, it's so easy to do, I think about any of us would do it. I think the only reason you don't see us pushing them is because of demand. I've had few very few requests for Irish, the only one I remember was somewhat ironic, cause the guy's last name started with and O and an apostrophe.  Most of the ones I've sold have been for people wanting a straight harp minor, but say they have trouble with a regular minor harp and that was on my suggestion. .
