Re: [Harp-L] Middle C question

["Rob Paparozzi" <Chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Then, on a standard 12 hole chromatic, which is middle C?

Michael,

Hole Number 1 is Middle C and reads as the 1st C below the staff on a 12 
Hole Chromatic.
Flute Music reads pretty close to the same registers as your 12 hole 
Chromatic is very useful for practicing as I learned from Maestro Bonfiglio.

best,
Rob Paparozzi
