Re: [Harp-L] Suzuki Fabulous Videos up on YouTube

[John Thaden <jjthaden@xxxxxxxxx>]

Brendan,
Beautiful videos, beautiful instruments!  The 12-hole Fabulous chrom is short-stroke (straight-tuned)?  But I thought I saw the typical 'up-down' hole pattern, same as on the 16-hole, for instance, in one of the last shots of it in the video.

There are two diatonic models, one in Just Tuning for Blues playing, and
another in Equal Temperament for more jazzy playing involving key
modulation. They both have new long-slot reedplates that enable
amazingly easy, stable overblows and overdraws, as demonstrated on the
video:

The Fabulous chromatics come in 12 hole size (F-48S), with short-stroke
slider ('straight tuned'), and 16 hole size (F-64C), with long-stroke
slide ('cross tuned'). I'm assisted in the demonstration by the
brilliant Danish jazz chromatic player Jacob Venndt (check out the jam
at the end!):

The Fabulous diatonics and chromatics will be launched in the USA at
SPAH, where players can try them out. Let me know if you have any
queries.
