Subject: RE: [Harp-L] proper mic technique Newbie needs help

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

Hi Abner:  As a 'newbie' on diatonic as well (been playing  chromatic thus 
far)  who has no real knowledge of amplification...I'm  as new to all of this as 
you are.  I liked Ryan Hartt's video (have  favourited it to revisit once I 
get my harps in).  
 
I just found this one by Dave Barrett addressing what might be your  specific 
question as well.   Remember, everyone plays differently, all  of our hands 
are unique to us....so figure out what works for you, feels  comfortable but 
still gets the 'right' sound....i.e. the sound you want.

..for me, I still can't hold a diatonic in my left hand..it feels so much  
more natural in my right..so I'm already at a disadvantage with 90% of the  
tutorials out there and with MadCat's shaker mic (the feather weight one  I've 
always wanted).  :(
